Schabek:

It is a fact that concatenating a null will result in a null the same as doing math with a null will yield a null result. Have you ever heard of COALESCE? Its job is to convert a null value to something that is not null.

Try this one:

     SELECT COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'
     ||COALESCE(NULL,' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'
     ||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'
     ||COALESCE('A',' ')||';'||COALESCE('A',' ')
     (TITLE  '')

Hope this helps,
