Ad-hoc reports shouldn't fill in gaps on right side of join (YORN field)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Scenario:


I have a view object in Maximo that only selects WOs, not tasks (ISTASK=0).

I effectively have a left join from the WORKORDER table to the view.

If I were to mock up what Maximo does, but in an SQL client, it would look like this:

select

wo.wonum as wo_wonum,

wo.istask as wo_istask,

vw.istask as vw_istask

from

maximo.workorder wo

left join

maximo.wotaskrollup_vw vw

on wo.wonum = vw.wonum​

Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8ght5.png

As expected, the view doesn't have any matching tasks, so the task rows have nulls in the view columns.

However, if I do the same sort of thing in an ad-hoc report, the task rows have "N" values in the VW.ISTASK column, which is incorrect/unexpected.

For the task rows, the VW.ISTASK values should be null, just like other columns from the view (such as VW.ACTTOTALCOST_TASKS_INCL).

Screenshot of the relationship: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DL77v.png

Screenshot of the report: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jKswL.png


Reason for this unexpected behavior:

MAXTYPE is YORN and default value is 0.


RFE:

Could IBM make it so we can use YORN fields in this scenario, but make it so the report doesn't fill in gaps on right side of the join with incorrect values?
