 Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Zero ON doesn't seem to be working right
   
  SET ZERO ON tells R:Base to treat no data (null) as zero in numeric 
calculations. The setting you need is 
 SET EQNULL ON/OFF
 NULL <> NULL will only work if EQNULL is set ON
 IDP12MA <> 1 will fail when IDP12MA IS NULL unless EQNULL is ON

  I have a command file with a "select" command that is coming up with no 
records, even though there is one record out there that fits all the criteria. 
  Zero is set on 
  My data record has fields INADATE = '12/19/14' IDP12MA is null IDP14PHI = 0 
  My command is: select * from TABLENAME whe IDP12MA <> 1 and IDP14PHI <> 1 and 
INADATE between '12/01/14' and '12/31/14' 
  The only way it works is if I add another selection criteria: select * from 
TABLENAME whe (IDP12MA <> 1 or IDP12MA is null) and IDP14PHI <> 1 and INADATE 
between '12/01/14' and '12/31/14'
  
  Why do I have to add that if Zero is set on? 
  Thanks, Patti
