Is there anytime that a field which allows nulls would generate an error on the code:
IF myfield.myvalue
The field value can be .T., .F., or null
It is never generating an error, but I have always had the code:
IF (NVL(myfield.myvalue,.F.))
and am wondering if the NVL() is guaranteed to not be necesssary? I have tested the speed difference
and even with over a million records the NVL() speed difference appears negligible. At onetime the
NVL() was added to all fields (all types char, date, log, etc) as a safety check more or less.
TIA,
Tracy
