Question

I need to convert Decimal to date. I have a decimal date field that contains data like this :

• 1,132,009.00 –1/13/2009

• 7,152,004.00 –7/15/2004

• 11,012,005.00 –11/01/2005

  etc

I would like it to read as xx/xx/xxxx.

Is there anyway to do this with SQL commands or DB2 logic in a select statement?

SELECT  column1  from  table1  ;

Answer 1

WITH x(decvalue) AS ( VALUES (DECIMAL(1132009.00)),(DECIMAL(7152004.00)),(DECIMAL(11012005.00)) )

SELECT CAST( 
    LPAD( RTRIM( CHAR( INTEGER( decvalue/1000000 ))), 2, '0' ) || '/' || 
    LPAD( RTRIM( CHAR( MOD( decvalue/10000, 100 ))), 2, '0' )  || '/' ||
    MOD( decvalue, 10000 ) 
AS CHAR(10)) 
AS chardateresult
FROM x
;
