Hi all
The following two statements work as expected when executed against
SQL server and return two rows
Select pn_bic,pn_iban,pn_bankac,pn_banksor ;
from pname ;
where Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_bic)) <> '' and Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_iban)) <> '' and
Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_bankac)) <> '' and Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_banksor)) <> ''
Select pn_bic,pn_iban,pn_bankac,pn_banksor
from pname ;
where '' <> Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_bic)) and '' <> Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_iban)) and
'' <> Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_bankac)) and '' <> Ltrim(Rtrim(pn_banksor))
When executed against VFP (same data) no results are returned. I have
tried SET EXACT ON and OFF and have tested with ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70, 80
and 90. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?
The workaround is to use Not Empty(pn_bic) etc but I do not understand
why neither of the two statements above works.
Many thanks
What's the SET ANSI setting?
