James,

I think that the appropriate handler would be an EXIT handler. Something
like this:

Declare Exit Handler For SQLException Return date('99991231000000');

Also, Shouldn't it be (i_date NUMERIC(8, 0) ?

Regards,

I think I have error dates handled now:

Where @@@@@@@@@@ is a placeholder for the library, in the RPG program
that generates the SQL source member for the UDF, I now have with the
new lines marked):

DROP FUNCTION @@@@@@@@@@/DISPLAYDAT;
create function @@@@@@@@@@/DISPLAYDAT(i_date NUMERIC(8))
returns DATE
language sql deterministic not fenced set option datfmt=*ISO
begin
declare continue handler for sqlexception **NEW**

return date('99991231000000'); **NEW**

if i_date = 0 then return date('00010101000000'); end if;
return date(digits(i_date) concat '000000');
END

What I know about handlers wouldn't buy you a cup of coffee, so is there
any reason why this handler would create a problem? Am I correct in my
understanding that a handler's scope is confined to the innermost BEGIN
block in which it resides? That it can't leak out and wreak havoc with
exceptions elsewhere?
