Null values in Dataset

Hi,

i can define null values in sequential files through its attribute editor. But i'm not able to do it for Dataset. By default Dataset is showing 0 for null values. How can i change these to some other value.

Hi Nripendra,

The advantage of dataset is that it can store persistent data. It stores a NULL only as NULL and not 0.

If you want to handle null and provide some other value in the dataset other than 0 then use Transformer(NullToValue) or a Modify stage(handle_null).

thanks Richdhan.
Currently i'm using modify stage for null replacement.
