Convert date to string in Teradata

Question

I'm trying to convert a date to string in Teradata. I've found on the Internet that it can be done like this:

SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_DATE, 'YYYYMMDD')

But this returns an error:

SELECT Failed. 3706: Syntax error: expected something between '(' and the 'CURRENT_DATE'
keyword.

If I run that exact same command on another Teradata database I have access to, it works fine. I suspect it must be something regarding the version of Teradata, or something like that.

Is there another way to do this?

我不知道为什么会收到此错误，但是您也可以使用以下方法执行所需的操作：

CURRENT_DATE(FORMAT 'YYYYMMDD') (CHAR(8))
