    You cold use the COALESCE function for example:

    DECLARE @V VARCHAR(5)

    SET @V = NULL

    --returns a blank ---returns the asterik

    SELECT COALESCE(@v,' '),COALESCE(@v, '*')

    A better example:

    DECLARE @V VARCHAR(5)

    DECLARE @W VARCHAR(5)

    SET @W ='B'

    SET @V = NULL

    SELECT COALESCE(@v,' '),COALESCE(@W, ' ')

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
