Thanks,

Abhinab

I haven't came across using 1st now for any of my requirement. We always go ahead and use current.number.nil() option. I think 1st one is not valide.

Hope this helps you.

I am waiting if some more people can validate as I came across this strange function in some of our implementation

Hi,

current.fieldname.nil() or previuos.fieldname.nil() is used more than gs.nil()

gs.nil()

This should be Queries an object and returns true if the object is null or contains an empty string. Otherwise, it returns false.

I have also used !current.field.isNil() before, as well as the always trusty current.field != '' to indicate emptiness.

Thanks,
