UNKNOWN

You can use the '?' (question mark), representing UNKNOWN, to check if an expression or an attribute has a value.

Example

Suppose a model with an entity Person and attributes Person.name and Person.age. In runtime, a user fills out a form and enters his name, but forgets to fill out his age.

As a result

  • Person.name = ? returns FALSE since this attribute is filled out
  • Person.age = ? returns TRUE since this attribute is not filled out and therefore is UNKNOWN
