Setting the date format to ISO on the driver fixed the null value and the PC app is seeing the date as 12/13/9999

So that's really a null in sheep's clothing. But our system is the same,
we don't have null values in user-maintainable tables. The practice
dates back to the days when you couldn't have null values, or if you did
then your RPG code couldn't work with them, and we haven't ever changed.

It is a field used for when an account will expire. For fulltime
employees it is set to 12/31/9999 (highest value allowed) since fulltime
employees are hired forever or until HR says they left. Part-timers and
special accounts are set to a known exit date that is know when they are
hired so we can re-verify the account is still needed or delete it
