Re: DDS date field & SQL

A date field knows what it is. There is no need to tell it. All you can tell it is how you wish it to show a date to you.

I have a DDS PF that contains a date field defined:
A DATEFLD L DATFMT(*ISO)
A DFT('0001-01-01')


RPGLE, DSPPFM and QRY/400 are all fine with that and show the field correctly. SQL chokes on it however. It returns a null value and a 01534 SQLSTATE (The string representation of a datetime value is invalid).

Any ideas? Is it the DFT keyword?
