I don't believe there is a built in function, but the system calendar could be used to easily provide the first day of the current month. Use the following:

Select calendar_date - (day_of_month+1)
  from sys_calendar.calendar
 where calendar_date eq date
;

FYI, The sys_calendar database is created through the execution of a Database Initialization Program (DIP) script. There is a utility that is used to run these scripts. If the database doesn't exist, you will need to do run the DIP script. It does not require a restart of the DBMS.
