public enum NullProcessing

	Elementname	Beschreibung
	Preserve	Specifies that the Null value is preserved.
	Error	Null value is illegal in this data item.
	UnknownMember	Specifies that the Null value is treated as the unknown member. This value is applicable only for attribute key columns.
	ZeroOrBlank	Specifies that the Null value is converted to zero (for numeric data items) or blank string (for string data items).
	Automatic	Specifies that for the Cube or Dimension data items, Null values are treated as ZeroOrBlank. And for MiningStructure or MiningModel data items, Null values are treated as UnknownMember.

ZeroOrBlank is how Analysis Services 2000 handles Null values.

UnknownMember causes a data integrity error at processing time.

Error causes a data integrity error at processing time and the server will discard the record.
