Ahhhh - you beat me to it
Paul - are you thinking about the mmddyy format of a date?
Doesn't that translate to what you are talking about?
I forget the threshold - something like 123139, is 2039-12-31, then if you add one day 010140 becomes 1940-01-01
Or something like that

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
