If memory serves, date fields are initialized to *loval. Nullity (ooh, I thought I'd never use that word in polite conversation), I think, is an attribute of the field independent of the value stored in the field. Believe there was a thread about this within the last couple of months. Also, in RPG, you have to compile your programs to be null aware. It's not the default. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Berendt [mailto:rob@dekko.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 10:52 AM > To: RPG400-L@midrange.com > Subject: RE: Date Field Printing > > > I question 'the absence of a date is stored as 0001-01-01'.
