Based on your description, I'd guess column 23 is the first null one. If
you concatenate null with any value, you'll get a null result:
regression=# select 'hello';
?column?
----------
hello
(1 row)
regression=# select 'hello' || null;
?column?
----------
(1 row)
regression=# select ('hello' || null) is null;
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
HTH,
