delivered as part of the 5.1 version
since we have had no response to our questions, we are going to assume that providing a new built-in function that would return this timestamp value would satisfy this requirement. If something else is wanted, a new requirement should be opened
Following up on the update from October 19, 2015:
We have implemented a TIMESTAMP built-in function in October 2015. Does this provide what you are looking for?
does the recently provided TIMESTAMP built-in function provide what you are looking for here?
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - PL/I Compilers
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - PL/I Compilers
sorry - I missed the earlier comments about this - so, the enhancement you want is the ability to get the nanoseconds as part of a date-time string, correct?
Could you provide some more details on what additional date-time information you would like from PL/I that is currently provided by DB2? Thanks
providing nanoseconds in the time stamp is a possible candidate for a future release
This is not a DATETIME but a request for TIMESTAMP.
The PL/I DATETIME returns 'YYYYMMDDHHMISS999' but a DB2 TIMESTAMP is 'YYYYMMDDHHMISS999999'.
what date-time information is wanted that is not provided by the DATETIME() built-in function?
