Re: Invalid dates in data transfer

I don't use iSeries Access file transfer (so why am I replying to this? not sure.)

But, that error usually crops up when you have a date like 0001-01-01 (the year 1) and you try to convert it to a 2-digit year. Since the system doesn't want it to convert to 01-01-01 (since that would be perceived as 2001) it throws the error message.

Is it possible to set your transfer options to include a 4-digit year?

Hi list,

We're trying to use data transfer in iSeries Access to transfer a file from the i to the PC. The file includes date fields. Some of the dates are *LOVAL and when transferring we get error SQL0181 "Value in date, time, or timestamp field not valid". Any solution to getting the file transferred?
