Dealing with 0 being interpreted as 0.0 for Integer fields
I don't know how I've avoided running into headache in the 5-6 years I've been customizing NetSuite, maybe it's the result of a recent version upgrade.
So here's the deal: I have a sublist with a couple INTEGER columns and I'm defaulting them to 0. Here's some code!
items.setLineItemValue( SORASST_FLD.COL_REMAININGRELEASEQTY, lineIndex, 0);
Don't worry yourself about those strange variable names, they are just constants for the identifiers. DO worry yourself about that 0 I'm setting the value to; not 0.0, not '0' or '0.0' - just good ol' integer zero. I know Javascript doesn't have true integers, but you get my drift.
