The help text for that message includes this:

• With system naming, the qualified form of an object name is schema-name/object-name. With SQL naming the qualified form of an object name is authorization-name.object-name.

A qualified name such as “sysibm.sysdummy1″ can take two possible formats. The delimiter is a .dot (“.”) in standard SQL format. It is a forward-slash (“/”) in system naming format. You choose which format to use when you start the client.

On most systems, the STRSQL command uses system naming format as its default. You can change that by specifying the NAMING() parameter when you run the command. You can also change it by pressing <F13=Services> on the SQL command display and taking option 1, Change session attributes.

Other clients, such as the iSeries Navigator ‘Run SQL Scripts’ function, will usually default to SQL naming.

Depending on which client you use and what settings you choose, the statement will either work correctly or will show the error that you saw. Your settings are up to you.

SELECT CURDATE() FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
but it is not working. it ll show the error

“Qualified object name SYSDUMMY1 not valid”
if you have any solution, share me

That’s not quite what this forum is for. That’s what the manuals are for. Look at the CURDATE function in the SQL Reference for an example.

This forum would be used if the function did not seem to work as it was documented. This can’t be used as a training site because it would get flooded with thousands of questions that can be found simply by looking at the reference manuals. We could never have time to help with actual problems.

Tom

please share me query for get current date and time in SQL400..

There are also the CURDATE() and CURTIME() scalar functions.

A quick scan of the SQL Reference shows all of these. Look through the lists of functions and look through the list of reserved words in the manual for finding words related to what you’re interested in.
