 >> 2.) Write a small RPGLE program where i would have SQL statements to
convert NULLS to Zeros & NULLS to 0001-01-01

Why bother ?  An RPG IV program can handle DB files with null values just fine.
Just compile the program with the parameter ALWNULL(*USRCTL) and then use

If        %NullInd(FieldName) to check the fields.

Similarly why bother with changing the field values and creating a new PF when
the current one will work just fine?
