Sorry David,

I was not aware of this change. And yes, the change came from release4.0. It 
was harmless but duplicate.
I reverted  (trunk 672687, rel4 672688) and merged (rel4  672689) following 
your advice

Jacques,

Was this change based on the release4.0 branch?

It looks like the issue was fixed in the trunk in SVN rev 539527. That  fix 
plus this fix now cause the code to make no sense...

What might be the best way to go is to put the SVN rev 539527 changes in the release4.0 branch, and revert these changes to the trunk and the branch.

Hi David,

The idea behind this fix is to be able to "unexpire" a value. If you expire a value by setting a past date to thruDate and latter want to "unexpire" it by blanking the thruDate field it was not working. Maybe blanking is not the right way to do it ?

You are right that I'm not the original writer of this fix, but it  was tested 
seriously.

Jacques,

Could you be more specific about what you are trying to fix here?  What  was 
the problem you ran into, and how does this fix it?

I don't know that this is the case, but it appears that you did not try to understand the code before changing it. The point of the was originally to not change a field when no parameter was passed in for it, which is what it means when the parameter is null.

Only when the parameter IS passed in and the parameter is a zero length (empty) string should the corresponding field in the database be cleared.
