If I have a DDL Statement in an output table for a date like:

EX$DRQJ DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT '1980-01-01'

In my input table I don't have zeros as this particular column how
would I code the output statement? I have tried several variations
of the output from the %DATE function just short of me coding the
default value in the program. I appreciate any assistance.

If I understand what you're asking... Then, if it is an UPDATE
statement you would use:

SET EX$DRQJ = DEFAULT

If it is an INSERT statement, then you use the word DEFAULT in the
VALUES list.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
