How do I return the system date or datetime in DB2 for Z/OS?
Question
How do I return the system date or datetime in DB2 for Z/OS using SQL? I am more familiar with SQL Server, where I would use "SELECT getdate()". I've tried a few permutations of this on DB2, but with no luck so far. Seems like I need a predicate, but am not sure where system information would be "FROM". Can anyone enlighten me?
Solution
Try select current date from sysibm.sysdummy1
OTHER TIPS
Alternately, try:
values(current timestamp)
