It might help to provide the URL for your site, where he can get iDate. Maybe not everyone knows it's a free user-defined function you've put together.

If you are using iDate, it will return a null if the date is invalid.

Arthur,

COALESCE checks only against a NULL value. You could use an UDF that checks
if your date is valid or not.

Hi All,

I've defined a simple cursor that does a date range selection on an
mmddyy date in a file (it's coded to convert it to a true date field
before the test). It ran fine (no halts) but had fewer records than it
should have because it aborted on an invalid date it found (023004). I
tried COALESCE to no avail.

How do you tell SQLRPGLE to ignore a selection error? (There has to be a
way, right?)

Thanks.
