ifNull( in.prodID, "failed", "success" )
Resolve the status of an order for which, if it has been successful, we expect to find a product ID on a target system. If in.prodID has a value, the order was successful. If in.prodID is _NULL, the order failed.
ifNull(calls.numCalls, 0)
Get the number of calls from an lookup Pipe. If there are no calls, calls.numCalls is _NULL so we assign the value 0. Otherwise, we simply want the original value of calls.numCalls.
