Re: Show nulls on display file?

Yes/No fields, in my opinion, are best handled with a checkbox. Users like them, easily moused, and takes away a bit of the older-than-dirt image of 5250.

So, yes, the user wants to distinguish between zero and blanks in the field. I thought maybe a null value would work, but sounds like I just need to convert it to character. I also briefly considered a secondary field - a Y/N flag saying the commission had been entered.
