RE: embedded sql and nulls

["McKeown, Andrew" <AMcKeown@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to specify a null indicator, one for each column that you
fetch.   Then you must check to see if the null indicator is -1( is
null) or 0(not null).

Subject: embedded sql and nulls

I have a query, that has nulls in some of the fields, but when I fetch,
the fields that don't have nulls, they to are blank...

So I was wondering, is the an SQL switch, that I need to set, to allow
NULLS, or do I have to add coalesc function to ever field, to return a
non null?

Thanks, tim
