Re: Question about creating a file with "Null" character init

Hi Laurie,

 

I think the following will help you out

 

RV1=0  /*ie numeric/*

RV2=apply.format["A1";RV1]    /* found this by mistake one day */

 

RV2 can be used anywhere as a one byte null char  eg "Null" RV2 "Test"

 

Regards

Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Question about creating a file with "Null" character init

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
