Seems like a silly request...

It's done so often that IBM has made it even easier to do at 6.1 with the

A word of caution, I recently discovered if you have a DDS-defined or
SQL-defined DATE or TIMESTAMP or TIME field in a file, and insert a
record using a field list but do not include that field name in the list
for the values, the write will automatically use the current timestamp.

But please please don't do that either. For inserts, use all the values.
(I like it when the column names list is used in the INSERT statement.
