1. NULL values are values outside the valid range and must be checked
separately.
2. You can either convert a NULL value into a default value by using a
scalar function COALESCE(YourCol, '') oder IFNULL(YourCol, '')
3. You can use an indicator variable (defined as 5I 0) that must be
specified immediately after the host variable to receive the value separated
only with a blank (no comma!).
If a NULL value is returned the Indicator Variable is set to -1 otherwise it
is set to *ZERO.
SQLCODE <> 100 means:
1. All Records that are correct (SQLCODE = 0)
2. All Records where a warning is returned (SQLCODE > *Zeros and NOT 100)
3. All erroneous records (SQLCODE < *Zeros) where no values are returned.
I'm quite sure you'll get the SQLCODE -305 (Indicator variable required)

Betreff: SQL -not returning records with null values
we have been coding our loops as follows:
dow sqlcod <> 100
....fetch records
if sqlcod<> 100
... write subfile, or write report line
evidently, the records with nulls return the 100?
we knew we should have had more records on the display, but when we changed
the if to "sqlcod = 0"
we received the records with null fields.
is this the proper fix, or is something else going on?
