Hi all.   I'm using VMS Powerhouse (830d) to convert data directly from an
RDB database to an Oracle Oracle database.  When I assign a field to the
"OO" database, a NULL value from RDB gets converted to that old "1858/11/17
00:00:00.00" null date.  Is there anyway to force an OO null into the field
without checking every single field in RDB for "if ... is null"?????
 
If I don't assign anything to a field, then it gets assigned properly to a
"~".
 
 
thnx!
