There is no standard way in CQL to express "field X is not empty".
Depending on implementations, NOT srw.dd="" might work (but evidently
doesn't in this case).  Another possibility is srw.dd=*, but again
that may or may not work, and might be appallingly inefficient if it
does.  NOT srw.dd=null will definitely not work: "null" is not a
special word in CQL.
