Q&A 5.0:  Clear vs =""

My workorder and invoicing databases have a bunch of money fields.  In various places throughout the programming I have conditionals such as:

Code
Select All
IF #5150="0"
	THEN #5150=""


Now I know that, in terms of program size, checking for the zero value as "0" takes up less bits than checking for 0.  But as for the second part, clearing the field, which is better: setting it to "" or using Clear()?

And which is better for Sesame?

"" is not type safe and Clear() is. So in Sesame it is best to use Clear().
