RE: SQL Date problem

The value of Scn_Date in the dump was *Loval:

SCN_DATE              DATE(10)             '0001-01-01'  

It looks like it's actually failing on the "Open" statement.  I verified all
the dates in the file were correct.

As shown by Matt Tyler in a previous post, adding SET OPTION DATFMT = *ISO
before the other statements seemed to take care of the problem.   It would
be nice to know why, so I could avoid this in the future...

The problem is that Scn_date is formatted wrong.  Like it was left blanks,
etc.  When you get that error, what is the value of scn_date?
Because you are not selecting any date fields:  line#, control, text, then I
wouldn't think it was a null value issue.

I am not so sure that it's even dying in the SQL.  Run it in debug and tell
us exactly where it dies.  Granted, imbedded sql makes your debugging a
little squirelly.

I am relatively new to the SQLRPGLE arena, and am having a problem with a
date field.  In this SQL statement:

C/EXEC SQL
C+ Declare C1 cursor for
C+ select Line#, Control, Text from DETAIL
C+ where Custno   = :Scn_Custno
C+   and SentDate = :Scn_Date
C/END-EXEC

My problem is that in a particular example, it isn't going to find any
records in DETAIL.  When I run this SQL statement interactively, it just
returns a blank screen.  When I run it in RPG, I get the following message
(RNX0114):

Message . . . . :   The year portion of a Date or Timestamp value is not in

the correct range.

Cause . . . . . :   A conversion was requested to a Date value, from a

Timestamp or a Date value, and the year of the source Timestamp or Date is

not in the allowable range of the target.

-- The range for a 2-digit year is 1940-2039.

-- The range for a 3-digit year is 1900-2899.

-- The range for a 4-digit year is 0001-9999.


I'm assuming this has something to do with returning null values, but I'm
not sure how to fix it.
