I just want to format current date into yyyymmdd in DB2.

I see the date formats available, but how can I use them?

SELECT CURDATE() FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;

I dont see any straightforward way to use the above listed formats.

Any suggestion?

    Should work on both Mainframe and Linux/Unix/Windows DB2. Info Center entry for VARCHAR_FORMAT().
