Return current year in db2 ( with only last two digits)

Hi,

If I give this command, I get the full year returned..

db2 "select YEAR( CURRENT DATE) from sysibm.sysdummy1"

1
-----------
2011

1 record(s) selected.


Is there a function or a way to only return the last two digits.. for example in the above query, I only want '11' returned to me not 2011. Thanks!
