Christian, I'm trying the same thing and tried to wrap the <esql:get-time> call with an <esql:if-null>. If that is the only command: <esql:if-null column="schedule_lunch_start">none</esql:if-null> it works just fine when the value is null, but I can't find the correct "syntax" to use for the command if the value is NOT null. Because otherwise I want to get the time value... <esql:get-time column="schedule_lunch_start" format="hh:mm aa"/>
I sent an email about the esql:if-null earlier today (14:29 PM CDT) and never saw it come through the list. Has anyone else been having trouble seeing their replies?
