MAPVAL issues

Does anyone use the MAPVAL keyword? I am having the following issue,


My date field is defined like so:
A RPTDT L I 5 29DATFMT(*USA)
A MAPVAL(('01/01/0001' *BLANK))

I am reading into a data structure defined like this:
dcl-ds dsprec likerec(display: *all);

But when I read the record (using EXFMT), a blank keyed on the screen is input as a blank which causes invalid format error when the field is used.

What am I doing wrong?
