Justin,

If you use the %Fields() BIF on the write you can specify which fields to update. In that case it should populate the unspecified fields with the default. I haven't tested this, but that's how I think it would work.

My advice would be to use a SQL INSERT and just don't specify that column. Db2 will then use the default.

For RLA, I'm not sure if there is a way to not write a column. Maybe a LF that doesn't include that column?

Subject: Set a date to default value

If I have a DDL Statement in an output table for a date like:

EX$DRQJ DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT '1980-01-01'

In my input table I don't have zeros as this particular column how would I code the output statement? I have tried several variations of the output from the %DATE function just short of me coding the default value in the program. I appreciate any assistance.
