Bill Edwards | If the following integer field is NULL, will the following expression evaluate as 1) false or 2) indeterminant? If ( FieldByName('ItemNo').AsInteger > 0 ) |

My money is on 1). Whilst the SQL standard has (IMHO) horrible things to say about null .AsInteger has to do something with it and I think that something is treat it as zero. Roy Lambert |

To determine if a field is NULL, use the TField.IsNull property instead. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

For a null field, the value is: Boolean ==> False String ==> '' Numeric ==> 0 (This includes TDateFields which evaluate to Dec 31, 1899 or something like that) So, this expression will evaluate to False if the field 'ItemNo' is null.
