Re: Why cannot use Current date in this query?

Yes it matters.

You're comparing a date to a number.

You need to convert the date to a number or the number to a date.

Plenty of examples exist.

I can do
select columna, columnb, columnc, current date from tableQ

I haven't tested it but you should be able to change this

select * from
...
and CASTAT = ''Y''')

to

select current date, a.* from
...
and CASTAT = ''Y''') a

Look carefully. Both lines were changed.

So the issue is, you can only show what is being selected,
so how to compare against current date if not in the list? Is there a
syntax
needed for Current Date?

I don't see CURRENTDATE in your SELECT statement so that leads me to

think

it's being used in openquery().
SQL on the IBM i uses either CURRENT DATE (with a space between) or
CURRENT_DATE.

Do you have the source for openquery() or can you generate the source

for

it?

Possibly the issue is using this IBS tool this openquery?
