It shouldn't harm anything as the system will evaluate it like 1=1 and return TRUE always on that part of the qualification.
At worst it would just require a tiny extra micro millisecond to process that part while evaluating the qualification :-) Cheers Joe -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kemes, Lisa A DLA CTR INFORMATION OPERATIONS Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 12:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: $NULL$ = $NULL$? They have this as the Run If Qualification on 4 escalations. Thanks so much, it looked like a mistake to me, but doesn't look like it's harming anything. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: $NULL$ = $NULL$? ** I'm guessing its another way to write something that is always TRUE. But even if that is what it is, it does not make sense why its needed. If that part of the qualification always returns T, we can have two possibilities T AND T = T which would have been T anyway. F AND T = F which would have been F anyway. So I would think its just some sort of a fat finger during development that never got noticed because it worked as it was supposed to anyway.

We got a hotfix from BMC and the Run If Qualification is: ('AssetClassId' = "BMC_COMPUTERSYSTEM") AND ($NULL$ = $NULL$) What does $NULL$ = $NULL$ do?
