Look harder. From the FM (SQL Reference - date format models):

SSSSS Seconds past midnight (0-86399).

Quoting ryan.gaffuri_at_comcast.net:

> I have a varchar field that I need to migrate to a date field. it is in the
> form 'seconds from midnight' and looks like this
> 0001
> 0050
> 1054
> I can't find a to_date function to translate that. do any exist?
