Alex,
This is just a WAG... ( I am not a C programmer and I assume your
using the C driver program.) If I tract through the source for the
v6.3 driver program correctly it looks like this is what the
progression of methods would be...
APIARCreateField
GetARFieldLimitStruct
GetARTableLimitsStruct
GetARQualifierStruct
(assuming Relop choice)
GetARRelOpStruct
GetARFieldValueOrArithStruct
(assuming Val choice)
GetARValueStruct
(assuming Char choice)
GetValue
GetMallocChar
GetChar
(Did I make the right assumptions above? Were you doing something else?)
Ending in a GetInputLine() call being the thing that actually collects
the input from you. (or maybe how strlen() counts a space?)
A few WAGs that you might want to try to test out: (possible workarounds?)
Maybe you should try a double space? (Thinking that it might be
trimming one of them off.)
Maybe your fighting a DOS Shell issue and should end your single space
input with a Ctrl+Z before the return?
or.... maybe you can look at the C code and see what this non-C
programmer can not see. :)

I am trying to use a Driver script to update a bunch of tables with the
following expression: ('Marker01' = " ")
I am already familiar with updating Table qualifications, so doing this
simple qualification is not an issue. What is an issue is the " ". When I
get to the point where I want to insert the space, I simply enter the space
then continue. The problem is when I go back to the table, it comes up as
('Marker01' = "").
The reason I have the space there is because we want the table to show when
Marker01 is blank. It simply won't work with $NULL$ nor will it work
with "". Having a space in there is the most effective way for the table
to work (AFAIK).
Any ideas how?
Thanks.
Alex.
