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..

If you omit a column in O specs, RPG will uses its own default value, not the database default value.
