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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Laurie Corvacho To: DataPerfect Users Discussion Group Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 7:47 AM 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!
