asp classic - VBScript conditional short-circuiting workaround -

-

i have large classic asp app have maintain, , repeatedly find myself thwarted lack of short-circuit evaluation capability. e.g., vbscript won't let away with:

if not isnull(rs("myfield")) , rs("myfield") <> 0 ...

...because if rs("myfield") null, error in second condition, comparing null 0. i'll typically end doing instead:

dim myfield if isnull(rs("myfield"))      myfield = 0 else     myfield = rs("myfield") end if  if myfield <> 0 ...

obviously, verboseness pretty appalling. looking around large code base, best workaround i've found use function original programmer wrote, called ternaryop, grafts in ternary operator-like functionality, i'm still stuck using temporary variable not necessary in more full-featured language. there better way? super-secret way short-circuiting exist in vbscript?

maybe not best way, works... also, if in vb6 or .net, can have different methods cast proper type too.

if cint( getval( rs("blah"), "" ) )<> 0   'do end if   function getval( v, replacementval )   if v nothing     getval = replacementval   else     getval = v   end if end function
