Subject RE: [firebird-support] NULL in concatenate
Author Filip Křikava
Is there any UDFs that do following:

If param pased to it is NULL returns string NULL else passed param

Ex:
PPARAM = udf_null_int(AGE); -- AGE is NULL

Result:
PPARAM = "NULL"

For various data types.
Thanks
Filip

You need to test for NULL, assign either the non-null value or "" to a
variable before you concatenate the assigned variables Alan
