RE: Insert of null-values with RPG, SQL or DFU -- RPG400-L

I have a similar problem with date fields.  When a
record is inserted (via rpg) the date field has a
default value = 0001-01-01.  I have a display file pgm
that uses embedded sql to retrieve the records, and
when it comes to a record with the default value in a
date field, a negative sql code is returned.  

Is there anyway to handle this other than to ensure
there is a valid date (ie 1970-01-01) in each record?
