Re: Max date

Is there a symbolic name for the maximum date? something like
infinite for numbers?

I will like to write something like:

exec sql insert into table(exp_date) values(?????)

where ????? will be replaced by an appropriate name.


Perhaps use the *HIVAL of RPG to define the value:

D maxDate S D inz(*HIVAL) datfmt(*iso)

exec sql insert into table(exp_date) values(:maxDate)

The declarative could be part of an include that defines that and perhaps some other effective constants.
