Subject: [RBASE-L] - Setting Report VAR =NULL

I'm having trouble getting a report variable to be NULL.
I want 3 report fields to be blank if there is a NULL value.  The first
field comes 
from the table, the others are calculated from the first.  The first field
comes out 
blank with a NULL from the table.  The NULL format is blank for all the
fields.

I tried to set a test variable = first field variable (that is NULL) but the
test 
variable's field came out 0.

Here's a logic function that I'm trying to use:
(IFNULL(vQuantity,vQuantity,vQuantity/12))
I've tried several values for arg2 without being able to obtain a NULL
result. 
1 gives 1 ; this proves that the logic works and the problem is to get a
null result
 '' gives 0
 ' ' or (CVAL('NULL')) gives an error, 1st & last 2 args of IFNULL must be
the 
same type
NULL and 'NULL' give 0.
 ,, or , , give error: a comma cannot follow a comma.
