The Dixie Flatline (10/11/2012)
If I understand you, you want to have a default value to be returned whenever no value is specified.Select order_nbr, field1, field2, field3
from table
where order_nbr = isnull(@Ord_nbr,'xxxxxx')
That is exactly what my response contained but apparently that isn't quite it.
