Print N/A when field is null

[lucky7456969]

 For a text field expression, when it comes across a null,

I want it to print out "N/A" how can I do that?

Thanks

You need to use expressions.

ex : $F{field_name} !=null ? $F{field_name} : "N/A"

with a conditional expression you can print "N/A" when the field is null , But your field should be string type other wise u will get type casting error

$F{field_name} !=null ? $F{field_name} : "N/A"
