Your date format is ambiguous but given your expected answer is January, I'll assume your start date is 2015-01-02 and end date is 2015-01-12. The following recursive query should do what you need:
The "i" term in the recursive element is simply there to suppress the "possibly infinite" warning that occurs otherwise. If you're not bothered by the warning, you could just remove it.
This will work on DB2 for LUW and I think it'll work on DB2 for z/OS but that'll depend on whether they've finally added support for
VALUES
or not; if they haven't just useSELECT foo FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
in the base case instead).
