The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Well, I personally would steer clear of them, at least until IBM improves null
support for RPG. If you do decide to implement nulls in your database, be
prepared to consistently check your null indicator before using that field in
your code. This tends to get ugly real quick, imo....

Subject: Question about SQL and Nulls
Good Afternoon,
I am working with a new table design and wonder about the wisdom of
using Null capable fields in the design.
Is it worth the trouble making fields Null capable and if so how do you
handle the fields in a Select Into or an Update operation operation.
I know I will need Null indicators and such but I wondering if it is
worth it.
Thanks
Bob Anderson
