RE: Set a date to default value

PM:
I have the Default set in the definition of the column. I am
attempting to use an RPG Write state to update/load a table from an
another table and convert the dates to a Date data type in the
process. Some of the dates from the input table are not assigned,
i.e. are zeros, so I wanted to load a default value because I
thought the Date data type would not accept zeros directly.


Oh, RLA access... If you're using O-specs then you could have two
sets of them -- one set with the date column included for legitimate dates
and one set with the date column omitted in order to take the
table-defined default value. Otherwise, you will have to have a default
value coded in your program as a move in the case the input date is
zeros..
