Ok, Rick's suggestion to use BufferString instead works just fine. But, I do take issue with the API method
RexxStringObject NewString(CSTRING s, size_t len) Since a size for the string is being specified and embedded nulls will be ignored the CSTRING type is not appropriate for the signature. I believe it should be void* instead.
