Personally I think it will be better for the non IT professional to use
nulls. Let's face it, when you query a file and you see dashes across
your screen for a date that seems to get your attention more than
0001-01-01.

If you have this table
create table QTEMP/EMPTEST (
EMPNO INT AS IDENTITY,
THEIRNAME VARCHAR(80),
TERMDATE DATE)

Which has these values
EMPNO NAME TERMDATE
1 BUBBA -
2 JIMMIE 2008-01-31

And now you run this statement
SELECT MIN(TERMDATE) FROM QTEMP/EMPTEST
You get
MIN ( TERMDATE )
2008-01-31

And, if I do this
select empno, substr(theirname,1,7) as name, termdate,
date(days(termdate) + 60) as newdate
from qtemp/emptest
I get:
EMPNO NAME TERMDATE NEWDATE
1 BUBBA - -
2 JIMMIE 2008-01-31 2008-03-31
