I fetched timestamp sysibm.sysdummy. If the timestamp is 2015-08-21.23.35.45.45287 ,I need to cut it till the minutes only i.e. 2015-08-21.23.35. Can any one tell me how to cut this using unix commands?
When you want to cut
it, use
echo '2015-08-21.23.35.45.45287' | cut -d"." -f1-3
Cut might not be the best solution, consider the DB2 expression (@data_henrik) or the shell built-in
a="2015-08-21.23.35.45.45287"; echo ${a:0:16}
