If the type of the result column is DATE your desired value is not valid. The minimum valid date in DB2 z/OS is '01.01.0001'.
But if type of result column is CHAR(10) you can use
| Code: |
| COALESCE(CHAR(my_date_col), '00.00.0000') |
.
But pay attention of the result a date string containing 'DD.MM.YYYY'. It's better to use the reverse format 'YYYY.MM.DD'.
In above sample
| Code: |
| COALESCE(CHAR(my_date_col), '0000.00.00') |
If not every part of the date (or time as well) is known and you would like to store zeroes or spaces in that case you have to use a date string because i.e. date '00.12.2013' is invalid as well. |
