Formatted Search on Rows

Question

Hey guys,
From all of my experience in the past, there is no way to write a query that will check all of the rows of a document for a specific case and then return a true if any of the rows hits that case.
For example, if I want to make a document go into approval when a UDF is blank on ANY row, this has never been something I could do.  Has anyone discovered a way to do this or is this confirmed as impossible?
Thanks,
Kevin

I have answered quite a few posts on this Forum about this Stored Procedure.  You can search the forum for all possibilities of using the procedure.  But for the time being,
You could look at this sample code where I have shown the usage on the Sales Order Rows.  You may change the ObjectType according to your documents object number and also change the document rows table and use your user field name.
IF @transaction_type IN ('A','U') AND @object_type = '17'
BEGIN
IF EXISTS(SELECT T0.ITEMCODE FROM [DBO\].[RDR1\] T0 WHERE T0.DOCENTRY = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del AND (T0.U_UserField IS NULL OR T0.U_UserField = ' ')
BEGIN
SELECT @Error = 1, @error_message = 'User Field cannot be left blank'
END
END
You can access this Stored Procedure from SQL Server Management Studio......Click on Databases...Select your database...Programmability.....Stored Procedure dbo.SBO_SP_TransactionNotification...Right click....select Modify
Copy the above code in the body ...You would probably see some thing like ADD YOUR CODE HERE....
Once you copied this code. Click the Execute button and you see should get the message
Command(s) completed successfully.
Close SQL Server and you should be good to go...
