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.
