I think you need a slightly different date picture (HH24?).
It is insufficient, on this list, to post "I received an error" - to be of any assistance in diagnosing it is important to provide as much information as possible about the error, in particular any error codes and actual text messages that appear.
Try declaring the date column to be TimeStamp in DataStage and using generated SQL. DataStage will generate SQL using a TO_DATE function.
This reply (in more detail) was posted on datastage-users yesterday; it should appear in the archives (on this site) very soon.
