DAYS

>>-DAYS--(--expression--)--------------------------------------><
 

The schema is SYSIBM.

The DAYS function returns an integer representation of a date.

The argument must be a date, timestamp, or a valid character string representation of a date or timestamp that is neither a CLOB nor a LONG VARCHAR.

The result of the function is a large integer. If the argument can be null, the result can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value.

The result is 1 more than the number of days from January 1, 0001 to D, where D is the date that would occur if the DATE function were applied to the argument.
