There is no standard way in CQL to express "field X is not empty". Depending on implementations, NOT srw.dd="" might work (but evidently doesn't in this case). Another possibility is srw.dd=*, but again that may or may not work, and might be appallingly inefficient if it does. NOT srw.dd=null will definitely not work: "null" is not a special word in CQL.
