redshift transform year_month


I am trying to do some transforms within a Redshift Data Flow where I need the year and month from a date field in the form of YYYYMM so I can do some math with it. I thought I could use the extract(year_month from date) function, but I get the following error:
The database reported a syntax error. [Amazon](500310) Invalid operation: Invalid date part for DATEPART/EXTRACT: Details:<br>----------------------------------------------- error: Invalid date part for DATEPART/EXTRACT:<br> code: 8001 context: Invalid date part:year_month. query
Here's an example:
SELECT extract(year_month from CURRENT_DATE);
What is the proper syntax for this?

Hi,
Is anyone able to help out with this request?
Thanks,0 -
I decided to go in a different direction and get the data in the format I needed in the workbench rather than in the dataflow
