Syntax of the string representation of a datetime value is incorrect SQLSTATE=22007

We are currently switching to DB2/AIX. I am modifying my sqrs to work
on this new platform. (We are currently on Oracle). I am having a
problem with an sqr that has a reference to a variable for a date
field. I have copied that section of the select statement below.

You can see the old code that I used for Oracle--that works
great--which I have commented out and the new line I added just below.

When this sqr runs, it throws the 'Syntax of the string representation
of a datetime value is incorrect' error. That tells me that 'AND
Z.ACCOUNTING_DT = $ACCOUNTING_DT' is obviously wrong, however I don't
know how to fix. This gets even more complicated because what this
sqr does is load data from a .csv file and when it gets to the field
where the date is, we set that to the variable $ACCOUNTING_DT. Oracle
has no problem understanding it, but DB2 does.

Any ideas out there on how I can resolve this?

FROM PS_BI_ACCT_ENTR Y Z
WHERE Z.BUSINESS_UNIT = $BUSINESS_UNIT
AND Z.INVOICE = $INVOICE
AND Z.LINE_SEQ_NUM = $LINE_SEQ_NUM
!002237..AND Z.ACCOUNTING_DT = TO_DATE($ACCOUN TING_DT,'YYYY-MM-DD')
AND Z.ACCOUNTING_DT = $ACCOUNTING_DT !002237..
AND Z.ACCT_ENTRY_TY PE = 'RR'
AND Z.DISC_SUR_LVL = 0
AND Z.DISC_SUR_ID = ' '
AND Z.TAX_AUTHORITY _CD = ' '
END-SELECT
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks, Brenda

What does the data look like on the CSV file for date.

You might want to look at the text file you are importing to see how
it is formatted. Oracle has a different date range than anyone else
and does not default to ISO-8601 formats ('yyyy-mm-dd'). Standard
SQL-92 only allows ISO-8601 temporal data.

I checked the csv file and the date is 2003-09-25 which is the correct
format. Do you think it is because when it reads the .csv file I set
that date to a variable ($ACCOUNTING_DT ) and it needs me to do
something else to that value when it reads it? I don't know what else
to look at. Any other ideas would be great.

I believe the value needs to have single quotes around it like:
'2003-09-25'

I contacted our DBA this morning and that was her solution also. We
tried changing the csv to '2003-09-25' for that field and it didn't
work--still getting the same error. Any other thoughts?
