Hi, Bruce,
David Donnell sent me a copy of your FIXED.STR, so I'll take a look at that
and see if I can figure anything out by looking at that. I'll probably have
questions, as it sounds pretty complex.
Thanks so much, all of you, for all your help! I am again amazed at how
quickly everyone helps out here. I didn't expect to get an answer back for
a few days at least!
Laurie

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