Setting displayed null value to empty string - sql errors?

Hi, I wasn't sure if I'm dealing with a problem or a feature request here. Is it possible to seperate out the displayed 'null' value from the data manipulation value? In 'Tool Properties -> Data Formats - Null String' one can set how a null string is displayed. However, this also says it is how it will be used in 'data manipulation statements'. Some of our users like an empty string to represent the null value, especially as they do a lot of exports to excel and want to miss out the search and replace step of "(null)' for empty string. However, as soon as the null value is set to an empty string they can not do any direct editing of table values in the sql editor as the sql appears to be bad. For instance, on a table called 'address' trying to update field 'address1' the save results window for DML: UPDATE says "MESSAGE: java.sql.SQLException: The specified table (nullnulladdress) is not in the database. SQL: update nullnulladdress set address1 = null where name_id = 12345" or debug window shows: "DefaultEditor-16: IfxSqliConnect.prepareStatement("update nullnulladdress set address1 = ? where name_id = ?")" When the Null string is set to '(null)' an update statement generates the following (as seen by debug window): DefaultEditor-16: IfxSqliConnect.prepareStatement("update address set address1 = ? where name_id = ?") So is the above a problem or expected behaviour? If expected, can I place a feature request for the data manipulation null value to be able to be set independently of the displayed value?

Thanks Roger, I'll wait for it in a later version. Cheers, Bryce.
