Re: Set a date to default value

If you like to store dates that actually have no value assigned to it, why
not define the field in the table as NULL capable? That is exactly the use
case for it.

Well kind of. I have a numeric field that represents a date and it can
have a zero value when there is no date assigned to the field, (Sales
record hasn't been invoice yet, Invoice Date = zeros) in the data base. I
thought I would have problems loading a column defined with the Date data
type with the zero value. My current ERP System interrupts the zeros as
01/01/1980 so I guess I will load the new column with "Newdate =
%Date('01/01/1980':*USA);" when the input value is zeros.
