Problem Note 62204: Incorrect SQL code is generated when you use a missing (null) value in combination with a logical OR in a Select node
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use a Select node in SAS® Customer Intelligence, the expression uses a missing value and a logical OR operator, as follows:

SELECT table0.CLIENTNUM AS CLIENTNUM LABEL='CLIENTNUM' FORMAT=F12.0
FROM ORADM.CLIENTS table0
WHERE table0.PSTCDAREA='AA'
FROM ORADM.CLIENTS table0
WHERE table0.PSTCDAREA='AA'
To work around this problem, do not use the logical OR operator. Instead, select the value (in this case, AA) and (MISSING) at the same time, as shown below:
