Wow - can't thank you all enough. Wouldn't it just have been easier if
the software developer would have created GLMASTGD rows for each
year/account?

Anything date related in SQL can often be simplified via a Dates (aka
Calendar) table...
Db2 Web query installs one, and there's a version of the script here
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/$FILE/Converting%20Legacy%20Date%20Fields%20to%20DB2%20Web%20Query%20Dates%20Part%20II.pdf

Assuming you have such a table, and an account_master table you can easily
cross join the two to get a result set of year + account.
