-----Original Message----- From: Bob Cagle

Is there a way to display a null value on a display file? I have a user requesting that a 2-digit numeric field show either blanks or zero as well as 1 - 99, emulating Excel-like behavior.

--------------------------

Most tools I have used depict a null as "-", <null>, or [NULL]. Try this:

values 1234, 567.89, null

- and see what results you get through your favourite SQL tool, (STRSQL, ACS Run SQL Script, DBeaver, etc.)

Brian.
