Check for Null

[Luis]

Is there an easier way to check if any of the fields returned in a
select statement have null values?

After running this command:

set rs = conn.execute("select A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J from SomeTable
where...")

I could check each field this way:

If IsNull(rs("A") Then
Response.Write("The value of A is null")
Else
Response.Write("The value of A is " & rs("A"))
End If

If IsNull(rs("B") Then
Response.Write("The value of B is null")
Else
Response.Write("The value of B is " & rs("B"))
End If

If IsNull(rs("C") Then
Response.Write("The value of C is null")
Else
Response.Write("The value of C is " & rs("C"))
End If

etc.

But is there a simpler way?

Also, my "solution" probably wouldn't work if more than one recordset
was returned...

use a null replacement in your SQL statement - I don't kow what DB you are
working with...

an oracle example: set rs = conn.execute("select NVL(A,'IsNull') AS A, ...
from SomeTable where...")
an SQL server example: set rs = conn.execute("select ISNULL(A,'IsNull') AS
A, ... from SomeTable where...")
