I'm a she and a novice with the scripting, but I've been able to utilize it to create scripts that are helpful to me in managing my DB2's. It's mostly the type of stuff where I list the database directory and loop through the results to take some action (take an image copy, make a database configuration change, etc ). With help from others I've managed to learn just what I need to know in order solve particular problems and each time I look to solve a problem I learn a little more. I support DB2 across a variety of platforms including Redhat Linux on IBM z/Series, AIX on IBM P/series and some Redhat on x86 type hardware which is why I didn't list one even though it is a forum recommendation. I always like it if whatever I come up with will work the same across all the environments and I guess it may just be that our admins have installed support for multiple kernels on everything, but both of your solutions work great in all the places I tested. Lem, I like your solution because it felt like something I could easily understand and implement right away. I also appreciate what you offer bakunin because I don't exactly understand it and you took the time to really explain it so as I look up everything you did I think it will help me expand a little. I appreciate you both taking the time to educate!

DateTime::Format::DB2(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				DateTime::Format::DB2(3pm)

NAME
DateTime::Format::DB2 - Parse and format DB2 dates and times SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::DB2; my $dt = DateTime::Format::DB2->parse_timestamp( '2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000' ); # 2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000 DateTime::Format::DB2->format_timestamp($dt); DESCRIPTION
This module understands the formats used by DB2 for its DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the DB2 format. METHODS
This class offers the following methods. All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time zone, because DB2 does not provide time zone information. * parse_time($string) * parse_date($string) * parse_timestamp($string) Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new "DateTime" object. The time zone for this object will always be the floating time zone, because by DB2 stores the local datetime, not UTC. If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die. * format_date($datetime) * format_time($datetime) * format_timestamp($datetime) Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string. SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details. AUTHOR
