StringToDate and DateToSting would to most of all tricks.

1) This depends upon your input data type, if it is string then you need DateToString() with the right output mask. If it is date, then no function is required, just change the date representation mask in your output stage by going into the columns tab, right click on your date column and go to extended properties.

2)You can use a CONVERT() function that converts all non numeric characters to an empty space.

3)It depends what you are trying to achieve with the FMT() function.

my problem is input field i.e. PMMDATETIME as a timestampe datatype. i need to convert this to store date in one output column and hrs (hh) to other output column.

thnks

Then (a) stop thinking like a server developer in your Iconv/Oconv rut, (b) explore all the date/time conversion functions that are available (Appendix A of Parallel Job Developer's Guide would be a good place to start) and (c) be prepared to experiment.
