Re: Valid dates allowed by the operating system

Have you tried "real" date fields?
CREATE TABLE QTEMP/PAUL (MYDATE DATE NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)
Table PAUL created in QTEMP.
INSERT INTO QTEMP/PAUL (MYDATE) VALUES(date('2096-12-31')) WITH NC
1 rows inserted in PAUL in QTEMP.
SELECT * FROM qtemp/paul
SELECT statement run complete.
MYDATE
2096-12-31

However, you must also ensure this is set correctly:
STRSQL
F13=Services
1. Change session attributes
Date format . . . . . . . . . *ISO

With SQL embedded into RPG you would use
set option datfmt = *iso
