Can notesitem have a null value

Hi all,

I have a very stupid question. Can any notesitem in a notesdocument (already saved) ever have a null value.

By null i don’t mean “” (Blank string).

The reason i am asking this is …i came across a code which had a if condition like

If Isnull(int(Item.text)) Then

Only case when this will hold true is when int receives a null as a parameter.

What i don’t understand is, can Item.text ever ever return a null value.

Thanks
