That depends on how you display the column.  Some IBM utilities will show
you *LOVAL out of 'courtesy' I suppose.  In earlier releases I used to be
able to set a field value, update the record, set NULL, update the record,
CHAIN to a new record, CHAIN to the first record and see the original value,
despite it being NULL.

The moral is that one can't depend on the value of a field when it is NULL.
