tFilterRow advanced mode- java.lang.NullPointerException for a field that't not filtered

[hgromek]

Hi!

I am hoping you all can help! I am trying to do a simple tfilter, however I can't get the basic filter to run correctly. 

I am filtering on a Ord Memo field = DOT. however I get this error when any of the other fields are null? 

row2.OrdMemo.equals("DOT")

Error only null field is a field that's not being filtered. 

Exception in component tFilterRow_1
java.lang.NullPointerException

this happens only in advance mode- basic mode will filter this fine. however I need to make a more advance filter than just this. 

Please tell me where I am messing up, I have spent hours on this trying to figure it out. 

I have uploaded the Debug screen.

The easier, replace row2.OrdMemo.equals("DOT") by "DOT". equals(row2.OrdMemo)
