Differentiating between initial value and zero

rupali_ray — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:05:24 GMT

Hi,

I want to differentiate between initial value and value passed a zero.

The data type is /ISQC/QTY_FACTOR.

If zero is passed and i check whether the field is initial, it is passing the condition.

Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks & Regards,

Rupali Ray

if this is a quantity type field then create a constant of the same type.This constant should be the initial value.

Ex.

Initial value for quantity fields is 0.000 not 0

Initial is used to check character/string fields which resembles a null(note its totaly different from SPACE).

Zero is the initial value for numeric Fields.

Type : Numeric

Value : 0

Initial Conidition : TRUE

Type : Character

Value : 0

Initial Conidition : FALSE

Hope i have cleared your query.
