MONTH Query for iSeries function
The MONTH function returns the month part of a value. The form is:
 MONTH ( expression ) 
The argument must be either a:
v Date
v Timestamp
v Date duration
v Timestamp duration
The result of the function is a binary field. If the argument can be null, the result can be null. If the
argument is null, the result is null.
If the argument is a date duration or a timestamp duration, the result is the month part of the value, which
is a binary field with a value between &minus 99 and 99. A nonzero result has the same sign as the
argument.
Example:
MONTH(TIMESTAMP) where TIMESTAMP = 1991-10-22-12.15.23.123456
The resulting value of MONTH equals 10.
SECOND Query for iSeries function
The SECOND function returns the seconds part of a value. The form is:
 SECOND ( expression ) 
The argument must be either a:
v Time
v Timestamp
v Time duration
v Timestamp duration
The result of the function is a binary field. If the argument can be null, the result can be null. If the
argument is null, the result is null.
If the argument is a time or timestamp, the result is the seconds part of the value, which is a binary field
with a value between 0 and 59.
If the argument is a time duration or a timestamp duration, the result is the seconds part of the value,
which is a binary field with a value between 99 and 99. A nonzero result has the same sign as the
argument.
Example:
SECOND(TIMESTAMP) where TIMESTAMP = 1991-10-22-12.15.23.123456
The resulting value of SECOND equals 23.
