can't write zeros to numeric fields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The logic of line 808:

                if field[0] in recordDict:
                    val = recordDict[field[0]]
         -->        if val:
                        record.append(val)
                    else:
                        record.append("")

...doesn't allow the writing of zeros to numeric fields.

There may be a more robust way to do things, but 'if val != "":' works for me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to write a zero to a numeric field

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.4 on winXP

Please provide any additional information below.
Thanks!

                    else:
                        record.append(val)
