Hi. Over the years I have gotten a lot of patient assistance from this
mailing list, for which I am abundantly grateful. In light of that, I
offer the following "translations," which are specifically in response to
your question about emulating the SQL above:

and (isnull(`s`.`Actual_Close_Date`)
--> and (`s`.`Actual_Close_Date` IS NULL)

((isnull(`s`.`Funding_Date`)
--> (`s`.`Funding_Date` IS NULL)

or isnull(`s`.`Actual_Close_Date`)))
-->or (`s`.`Actual_Close_Date` IS NULL)))

HTH, and Cheers.

Ken
