Re: SQL Default Value for Date Fields

Just to cover all the bases :)


It would work most of the time for date fields, as long as the program didn't run over midnight*, but it wouldn't work for times and timestamps.

With SQL, the timestamp is different for each new record. But with an RPG data structure, the timestamp would always be the same value set during initialization.
