select CAST('02' as Integer);

Works in MariaDB 5.5.33a. Does NOT work in MySQL 5.5.37. Here's the error message: http://screencast.com/t/cgAlQR7e

Ideas?

(The real SQL is extracting the first 2 characters of a HHMM time string; I'm trying to get the hours and minutes values. MySQL doesn't have a VAL() function.)
