null capable fields

 >> Does 'eval' take care of the null indicator when moving a value to a
null capable field?
 >> Does the 'time' op code do the same?

No and no again.  The only way the indicator is affected is by reading a
record containing the field in question or by the use of the %NullInd BIF.
Whenever you change the content of a null capable field in RPG you must
also use the BIF to set the flag.
