Re: Date failing issue in SQL

Basic rule of thumb about SQL is this:
If you're going against a constant, such as
... = current date
then do not manipulate your data to match the constant but manipulate the
constant to match your data.
T01.IATRND = int(current date)
The performance will be better, especially if there are keys over the
field being manipulated.

But, yes, this statement in STRSQL will tell you to go defecate in your
hat and pull it down over your ears:
VALUES date(0)
In other tools you will see:
SQL0183
Message . . . . : Result of date or timestamp expression not valid.
Cause . . . . . : The result of an arithmetic operation is a date or
timestamp that is not within the valid range of dates which are between

0001-01-01 and 9999-12-31.
