Yes. It's got a value (my apologies for not saying so earlier). The 
INZ(D'2017-01-31') clause on the declaration would have wrapped in the 
email.

And it has three friends, all of them INZ'd to different dates.

This excerpt is from a test program, after the real program exhibited 
the symptom; it uses a date value constructed from month, day, and year 
values read from a file.
