Firstly, I made a mistake with the subject line. It should've read the
value of EMPTY. Second, this is not a fake. I've spent a maddening day and
a half last month trying to figure out why my code would work one day and
fail the next (usually in front of the management).
I was using value to convert user input to numbers. A small test in the
message window had returned value("") as 0. Which is why I had gone and
implemented it in my modules. I guess I'll follow Kerry's advice and use
the length() function to check my conditions.
BTW, can someone explain what Director's symbol table does? I tried talking
to one of our Java programmers who brought up an analogy of Java's hash
table. Is it something of similar nature? Is it built at runtime, or is it
predefined?
