i'm selecting a date from db2 from an as/400, and the system is setup to output MM/dd/yy

the problem is that when it comes across a date which conflicts with a 2 digit century, it outputs '++++++++'

is it possible to format the date in the query string? i'm using jdbc to interface with the system.

any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I'm not familiar with db2/400 but for UDB I would use CHAR() function. You may want to look at the SQL reference for your platform.
