A better solution is fixing your code. What do you expect it to do
anyhow? Once you figure out what you want it to do, you should be able
to write a boolean expression that is true, false or null when you
want it to be. If fact from what I saw it seems that you could just use
a CASE expression and skip the function call altogether.
