Re: _Rwrite to db with default value

Then I'll probably resort to another solution. The view thing just isn't
maintainable. I'm just wondering how this is really handled under the covers
of an RPG write for instance... I would think there would be a way to
simulate that.


When an RPG program only writes out some of the fields, the remaining fields are filled with RPG's default values, not necessarily the default values for the data base. So a timestamp would be filled with the low-value 0001-01-01.00.00.00 rather than the current timestamp that you'd get with a logical view that didn't contain the timestamp.
