Well, here's the statement I'm using: *SELECT Generic_Categorization_Tier_1, Usage FROM CIS_HPD_Menu_Item_Ranking WHERE (Generic_Categorization_Tier_1 IS NOT NULL) AND (Category_Status = 'Enabled') AND (Category_Type = '$1000002257$') ORDER BY Usage desc*
Now when I select the menu, if the Cat 1 field is NOT NULL, I'm getting this error: *ARERR [552] Failure during SQL operation to the database : ORA-01722: invalid number* If the field is NULL, I just get a (No entries in menu) message. I thought it might have been objecting to NULL values or zeros not being numbers, so I do have numbers in the Usage field. Anyone have an idea of what I need to do to get around that error?
