null_digit_value

Default: 9
Range: 0 or 9
Related parameters: allow_nulls

Use this parameter when your DMSII data contains NULL values that you do not wish to store as NULL. This parameter applies only to items that have the DAOPT_Nulls_Allowed bit reset in the da_options column of the corresponding DATAITEMS table entry.

• If you set null_digit_value to 0, all NULL values encountered in DMSII NUMBER data types get stored as zeros.
• If you set null_digit_value to 9, all NULL values encountered in DMSII NUMBER data types get stored as high values (999 or 999.999).
