Ulli -- I think Zope (ZServer?) is doing (more or less) the equivalent of the following when it parses your URL: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('entryid', '0')"> That is, it's setting entryid to the string "0", rather than the integer 0. In Python, the string "0" evaluates to true; you seem to want it to evaluate to false. Try this (UNTESTED CODE) in your ZSQL method: SELECT * FROM DIRECTORYSUBMIT_ENTRIES <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-if "entryid != '0'"> <dtml-sqltest entryid column=id type=int> </dtml-if> <dtml-and> <dtml-if "categoryconfig != '0'"> <dtml-sqltest categoryconfig type=int> </dtml-if> </dtml-sqlgroup> Regards, Ben

Hello,

I defined a ZSQL method with two optional arguments

categoryconfig:int=0 entryid:int=0

SELECT * FROM DIRECTORYSUBMIT_ENTRIES <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-if entryid> <dtml-sqltest entryid column=id type=int> </dtml-if> <dtml-and> <dtml-if categoryconfig> <dtml-sqltest categoryconfig type=int> </dtml-if> </dtml-sqlgroup>

When I call the test interface like

http://server/sqlListDirEntries/manage_test?categoryconfig%3Aint=0 &entryid%3Aint=0&SUBMIT=Submit+Query

(note the "%3Aint") evrything works. The resulting SQL statement is

SELECT * FROM DIRECTORYSUBMIT_ENTRIES

When I call

http://server/sqlListDirEntries/manage_test?categoryconfig=0&entry id=0&SUBMIT=Submit+Query

(noew "%3Aint" is missing) I get

SELECT * FROM DIRECTORYSUBMIT_ENTRIES where (id=0 and categoryconfig=0 )

What would be the correct if clause?

Thanks

Ulli
