That's a good explanation to it.

If so, whatever generated it might normally have a field it would put in place of one side of the relation (normally resulting in 'Some Field' = $NULL$), but for whatever reason in these cases it didn't have such a field so harmlessly substituted $NULL$. -charlie On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 9:08 AM, Joe D'Souza <[email protected]> wrote: It shouldn't harm anything as the system will evaluate it like 1=1 and return TRUE always on that part of the qualification.

They have this as the Run If Qualification on 4 escalations. Thanks so much, it looked like a mistake to me, but doesn't look like it's harming anything. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: $NULL$ = $NULL$? ** I'm guessing its another way to write something that is always TRUE. But even if that is what it is, it does not make sense why its needed. If that part of the qualification always returns T, we can have two possibilities T AND T = T which would have been T anyway. F AND T = F which would have been F anyway. So I would think its just some sort of a fat finger during development that never got noticed because it worked as it was supposed to anyway.
