We're trying to use data transfer in iSeries Access to transfer a file
from the i to the PC. The file includes date fields. Some of the dates
are *LOVAL and when transferring we get error SQL0181 "Value in date,
time, or timestamp field not valid". Any solution to getting the file
transferred?
One option might be to cast the date field into a character one. It
might be necessary to tell the transfer program that you want to process
native SQL. If so, in the transfer program screen, click on File, then
the SQL tab. Select "Process Select as Native SQL".
Select fielda, fieldb, Char(fieldc, USA) From File1
You can specify whatever format you need. If you need sortability on
the field, then ISO would be appropriate.
You could also modify the statement with a Case statement to handle the
*Loval.
Select fielda, fieldb,
Case Char(fieldc, ISO) When '0001-01-01' Then ' '
Else Char(fieldc, ISO) End
From File1
