Re: v13 - Null values

Pat, the reason I am looking to test for 'Null' is I have a utility utl_Is_Empty(->Var_or_Field) --> boolean This utility returns true if the field or var is 'empty', if the value is a default empty value for the field or var type (i.e. text = ""). However, as I mentioned before, something tha

Re: v13 - Null values

Maybe try something like this: - Set an error handler - Try to use that field or variable - If it is null then the error handler will catch it eg: ON ERR CALL("errorcatcher") $result:=$BooleanVarOrfield=true ON ERR CALL("") On 2 June 2018 at 15:02, Arnaud de Montard via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.

Is there a means to test for a 'Null' value in v13? By 'Null' do not mean the default (type appropriate) value of an unassigned field or variable. If not, at what version does this capability exist? Thanks Chip --- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for
