I would suggest a clearer naming convention for your dictionary items. When you have DATE as part of your field name, it makes sense that a programmer would expect a date to be returned.
For instance, DEPDATE (or DEPOSIT.DATE) should be a data type (D), and just the date of the deposit. I suggest DEPOSIT.DATE because in an attorney's office, DEPDATE could be a deposition date. You can always shorten the name via a synonym if you wish. If you want to display deposit dates and know if the deposits were voided, I'd name the I-type DEPOSIT.DATE.VOID or DEPOSIT.DATE.STATUS so both a programmer and a user could expect to see something besides just a date.
