insert data into table using the today() function

insert data into table using the today() function

I have a silly question... for some reason I just can't get it work...
I want to insert a row into an empty table using the today(function).
This is what I do:
insert into gal_risk_factor (RISK_FACTOR_ID, VALID_FROM_DTTM,
RISK_FACTOR_NM, EFFECTIVE_FROM_DTTM, EFFECTIVE_TO_DTTM)
values ("1",today(),
"GGG",
"01JAN1901:00:00:00"dt, "01JAN2999:00:00:00"dt
)
This is the error I get:
today(),
_____
22
202
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a quoted
string, a numeric constant, a datetime constant,
a missing value, ), +, ',', -, MISSING, NULL, USER.
ERROR 202-322: The option or parameter is not recognized and will be
ignored.
What am I missing here...?
Thank you in advance, Gal.
