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
