Re: When is date field (L) updated?

Dale

Another thought - you can always use the SQL ALTER TABLE to change that column - and there you can set a default that is current date explicitly.

At least, I think it'll let you do that!

I have a file defined with DDS (it's a long slow process moving to DDL).
It has a date field defined as type L. The default value is current date,
I confirmed it as shown in OPS NAV.

What I want DB2 to do is put in today's date whenever I add a record.
What I get is 0001-01-01.

This is the kind of thing I would like to let DB2 handle. Do I need to
make it a timestamp field for that to work? Or change the definition
with OPS NAV to something else?

I guess I can always update with current date in RPG, but I'm trying to
use some of these new shiny tools that are available.
