Actually it is CURRENT DATE (no underscore, CURRENT_DATE is for MySQL). You can also use CURRENT TIME or CURRENT TIMESTAMP depending on your needs.

CURRENT DATE, etc. is correct. Also be advised that you can have some troubles when pulling from DB2 - valid date range
is 0001-01-01 to 12-31-9999, the lower end being beyond what ADO considers valid dates. Convert to
CHAR(SOMEDATE) when extracting. Likewise, timestamps can be problematic...
