No, I would want IBM to allow me to propagate the "nullness" <g> of any
given value throughout my application. If I need to pass that field
into a subprocedure, should I also need to explicitly declare an extra
parm just so I can pass it's null flag? Ideally, null should just be an
attribute of the field, and implicitly passed along with its addressing
pointer.
Is a null attribute passed in OPDESC?
Now, despite my personal bias against null fields, I must say that RPG has gotten better at handling them. Barbara managed to introduce the *NULLIND option on procedure parameters, which does pretty much exactly what you need.
