Hi All,

 

Is there any way to test blank values for Integer fileds, for Strings fields

if( Str == '') or Isblank(Str) ...

Any help must be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !

You can convert the integer value to string value by Using String.ValueOf function
and after that test this converted string for blank value as you are doing .

you can check like this for integer

 

integer i;

if(i==null)

we cannot use i==''. As this is for string literals.

Integer Type data can only contains NULL value , if there is no Data.
because NULL is the default value of a String. There is no standard method to check ''(blank) value for Integer field.

If you need it , then you can check

Intege i;
........
.......
If(i == NULL || (i != NULL && String.isBlank(String.valueOf(i)))){
.......
.....
}
