DanIt is too bad IBM uses different techniques for the 2 styles - they could have made the GENERAL use multiple parameters instead of an array - oh well!
As to the hyphen for NULL, I believe it is not changeable - that is why I often use the following
values(null_capable_column, ' ')This uses the value of the column if it is not NULL and a blank when it is - of course, use a zero if column is numeric.

Here is the description of the parameters > from the manual: <snip> Thanks for the clarification, Vern. Had to read your explanation a few times, but I get the gist of it now. Is the standard "output" of a null value for display / print in interactive SQL always a single dash? Is there a way to change that? I'm just wondering in case I encounter having to show nulls on a character field for which a valid value may be a single dash character. - Dan -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
