Is this a safe query to write? SELECT NVL(SUM(Amount),0) FROM MyTable WHERE condition = .T. INTO ARRAY laCnt
I added the NVL because without it, the result could be .NULL. and the array doesn't get created. I ask this question because the idea of an NVL around a SQL SUM seems odd to me, like it wouldn't evaluate in the proper sequence perhaps. I'm using INTO ARRAY because the code is in a loop that runs a lot and it's shorter/easier (imo) code that going INTO CURSOR for just a SUM. -- Michael J.
