Re: Question about creating a file with "Null" character init |
|
Hi, Pat,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried putting an
Alt-255 character and the file created by the report actually has a character
number 255 (Hex FF) rather than a null. I tried the Alt-0, and it doesn't
do anything, unfortunately. All the Alt-x work, except the Alt-zero. Does
you know of any other way to enter characters by ascii number? such as maybe by
modifying the printer map, etc?

Laurie, I believe you can type a null
character by holding
down the Alt key and then pressing 2+5+5 (in that
sequence)
on your numeric key pad.
This typed value
(displays as a space character) could be
placed in an RV and used to
compare to or concatenate to
other strings.

Hi Laurie,
I know that
this is possible because I have done it in the past. Unfortunately, all of
my older machines are broken, and I can't find it. It was in a database
named FIXED.STR which I distributed widely many years ago, and demonstrated
in a one of the DataPerfect conferences held on the WordPerfect campus. The
database generated an executable program to convert a fixed-width file into
a delimited file for import purposes. Maybe someone else on the list still
has a copy of it. I'll keep looking...
I think that I defined one of
the control characters to be null/zero, but don't remember how I did
it...
Best wishes,
Bruce

Hello, all,
I am
trying to use a DataPerfect report to create a file which needs to contain
(among other things) null characters. How can you get a DataPerfect
Report to print a null character as part of a text field in a
formula? Alt-n works for other ASCII characters, but not the
null/zero. (I searched my DP mail folder but didn't find a relevant
answer regarding this from prior group e-mails. Is there a way to
search the mailing list archives on the dataperfect.nl website?) I
also can create a printer code with the null in it, but I really need to
be able to use it in a formula.
If all else fails, is there a
way to import one into a field in a record where it can be used, such as
the way to use the begin and end Bold and Underline codes, as I think it
was Ralph explained how to do so long
ago?
Thanks!
Laurie
