I'm a PowerBuilder programmer whose boss wants them to assign the date value of '01/01/0000' to an Oracle date field. PowerBuilder will accept this date and save it to Oracle. Oracle's date format (to_date) will not allow this entry via PL/SQL.

My question: What problems will this, if any, cause. I'm not comfortable putting this date in but it is accepted.

Developing in PowerBuilder 5.0.02 using Oracle 7 and Oracle 8.

Thanks!
