> Documentation? I am sure I did not invent the syntax. I saw it somewhere in the docs. > Portability of e.g. "int foo = 'ABC';": What about it? Just like the well-established int foo = 'A'; > Blank/null fill? Just like for the well-established int foo = 'A'; the characters are low-order-justified and filled on the high side with zeros. > left/right justified? Same as for int x = 1; > big/small-endian? No more of an issue than for the well-established int foo = 'A'; Charles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
