All,
 
Having an issue with using the Select Expert to filter a report.
I'm using crystal reports 2008.  My statement is :
 
{Enc.HspFlg} = "Y" and
{Enc.BegDat} <= DateTime (2009, 05, 31, 00, 00, 00) and
{Enc.OrgSys} = 70 and
{Adm.AdmSts} = "Y" and
{Enc.EndDat} > DateTime (2009, 05, 01, 00, 00, 00)
or
IsNull ({Enc.EndDat})
 
The problem is with the IsNull - mainly i believe is because i'm already
filtering on the Enc.EndDat field.  I tried putting () around each section, but
that didn't help. The first "group" in the maroon color works fine.
But when i add the last part (in blue) it scrubs everything.
 
Any suggestions ?
 
Thanks
Scott

I can swear that for some reason that putting the ISNULL first impacts the statement although i don't think it should. You also need parenth around the the isull or end> part ...try....
(
IsNull ({Enc.EndDat})
or
{Enc.EndDat} > DateTime (2009, 05, 01, 00, 00, 00)
) and
{Enc.HspFlg} = "Y" and
{Enc.BegDat} <= DateTime (2009, 05, 31, 00, 00, 00) and
{Enc.OrgSys} = 70 and
{Adm.AdmSts} = "Y"

Actually I am curious if you don't mind testing....
If the above works for you, do you get the same/correct results with inverting the OR statement (below) or does it omit the NULL enddat records...
(
{Enc.EndDat} > DateTime (2009, 05, 01, 00, 00, 00)
or
IsNull ({Enc.EndDat})
) and
{Enc.HspFlg} = "Y" and
{Enc.BegDat} <= DateTime (2009, 05, 31, 00, 00, 00) and
{Enc.OrgSys} = 70 and
{Adm.AdmSts} = "Y"

Thanks DBlank !
That worked.
 
And I did test by inverting the OR statement like you asked.
It did drop the Null records.
 
Thanks Again !

Thanks for verifying!
 
I can't figure why it ignores the "or ISNULL()" if you put it second....
Only thin I can think of is it already made it dropped the nulls in order to check the value so when it reevaluates the NULLS were already excluded...
anyone else know about this?
