Understanding the difference between FND_API.G_MISS_* and FND_API.G_NULL_*

edited Oct 3, 2024 2:39PM in EBS Customizations (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

I am confused regarding the difference between

FND_API.G_MISS_NUM and FND_API.G_NULL_NUM for NUMBER type

FND_API.G_MISS_CHAR and FND_API.G_NULL_CHAR for VARCHAR2 type

FND_API.G_MISS_DATE and FND_API.G_NULL_DATE for DATE type.

When trying to nullify a non-null column during update through APIs:

Documents Doc ID 2646602.1 & Doc ID 2701634.1, recommends using FND_API.G_NULL_*

BUT

Documents Doc ID 335499.1, Doc ID 1598935.1 and Doc ID 2632630.1 recommends using FND_API.G_MISS_*. I have yet to find a anything that discusses & compares them both.
