NullValueLookup

Based >Extensible Algorithm Framework

This algorithm replaces the input with a null or empty value, depending on the context.

The algorithm's name is chosen for backward compatibility only. It does not perform any kind of lookup and is not related to the Secure Lookup framework.

Since this algorithm can return null, its “canReturnNull” field is set to true in the database. Assigning it to a SQL column with a not-null constraint throws an error. This also occurs if it is a dependency algorithm in a chained algorithm. For more information, refer to the Managing inventories documentation.

For example:

  • "6379315274824970" → null

  • "ABCxyz123" → null

  • "Sí" → null

  • "999-12-3456." → null

  • "2000:a86f::1" → null
