Datatype Conversion Error In DTS

I am using DTS to import a DB2 table from the mainframe and export the table in text format to a shared folder. I want to convert two fields to a date format yyyy-mm-dd. RELSE_Date is in this format and Updtts is a timestamp coming from the mainframe. The text file is all vchar. In dts here is my query pulling from the mainframe
SELECT A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER, A.DYE_SEQUENCE, A.STYLE,
A.COLOR, A.SIZE, A.STATUS_IND, A.STATUS_CODE,
A.QUANTITY_REC_DC, B.SHIP_OTFQ_QTY,
A.MRP_PACK_CODE, A.LABELS_PRINTED,
date(A.RELSE_DATE) as RELSE_DATE,
date(A.UPDTTS) as UPDtts, A.LOCATION
FROM DB2.WP1_PO_CUST_REQ A,
DB2.WP1_DYE_LOT_REQ B
WHERE A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER = B.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER
AND A.DYE_SEQUENCE = B.DYE_SEQUENCE
AND A.STYLE = B.STYLE
AND A.COLOR = B.COLOR
AND A.SIZE = B.SIZE
AND (A.PROD_ORDER_NUMBER LIKE '__K____')
When I parse the query it accepts it. When I run the DTS I get an error stating (SQL STATE 220077 SQLCODE -180) The sting representation of a datetime value has invalid syntax. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to convert these fields before the text file is exported or another output format that is similar to .dat in comma delimited format? Thank you.
