Re: Timestamp conversion

Hi Art,

It appears you have a mix of 2-digit and 4-digit years. Check the
difference in these 2 formats and their respective results:

values timestamp_format('8/9/2022 9:47','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI')

2022-08-09-09.47.00.000000


values timestamp_format('8/9/22 9:47','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI')

0022-08-09-09.47.00.000000

Documentation at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=functions-timestamp-format says

"A substring of the/string-expression/representing a component of adate
ortimestamp (such as year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds) can
include less than the maximum number of digits for that component of
thedate ortimestamp. Any missing digits default to zero. For example,
with a format-string of 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', an input value of
'999-3-9 5:7:2' would produce the same result as '0999-03-09 05:07:02'."

Maybe check for the error and try the other format?

Did I do something wrong or do I need to try a different timestamp

format?

Thank you

Thank you. This worked for me:

exec Sql set :outTmStp = Timestamp_Format(:inTmStp,
'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI');

Subject: Timestamp conversion

I'm receiving a timestamp in a CSV (generated in Excel) that looks like
this:

8/3/22 10:02

Is there a way to automatically move it to a timestamp field or do I

need

extract the date and time separately, etc?

Thanks
