What about this

where (D.SuplCde BETWEEN :ISupplierCodeMIN AND :ISupplierCodeMAX) and ...

i.e. instead of :ISupplierCode containing normal value or Null,
you either assign the same value to both ISupplierCodeMIN and ISupplierCodeMAX,
or you assign minimal possible value to ISupplierCodeMIN and maximal possible
value to ISupplierCodeMAX.
