Dick,

Why don't you see if you can look up the blank data using a literal null in
your where clause (where colname1 = '  ')

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Unusual Null behavior

Using 7.5

I am importing a table of colors into the database using the Load 
command.   Four columns, 3 contain data, 1 is empty.
Sometimes a blank row will import.

With Null set to -0-, only the column with no data shows the null in the 
blank row.
The columns containing data display a blank field in that row.

You can delete the row manually, but not using a delete command, because 
the only field that appears to be null is the column in which all rows 
are null. Thus if you use that column to delete on, all rows are deleted.

Ah the mysteries of life.  

How about it genuis's... what is happening?
