That is the lowest timestamp value, so I suppose you could use %LOWVAL, or maybe *LOWVAL.

Or just plain if mytsfld = %timestamp('0001-01-01-00:00:00.000000')

Hi,

I want to read a file and update only the records for which the timestamp
field has not yet been modified. It shows up as :
0001-01-01 00:00:00.000000

Do I have to test for this value or is there a simpler way?
