Datatype of IJUNK02 is CHAR; FORMAT clause given is only valid for DATE, hence the 3617 error.

If the input data matches the FORMAT used in CREATE TABLE, the datatype conversion from CHAR to DATE can be done implicitly. If you want to override the format, you must also specify explicit type conversion:

:IJUNK02 (DATE,FORMAT'YYYYMMDD')

or

CAST(:IJUNK02 AS DATE FORMAT'YYYYMMDD')
