Per the Palm OS Reference documentation:
"Copies up to n bytes from a source string to the destination
string. Terminates dst string at index n-1 if the source string
length was n-1 or less."
Seems like StrNCopy is working perfectly for you!
(This API function does seem to match the strncpy() function)
Your code is the problem. You need to explicitly terminate the
destination string.
Example:
StrNCopy(Variable2, Variable1, 5);
Variable2[5] = '\0';
If you don't want to put the nul byte at the end you can take
advantage of the StrNCat() function
*Variable2 = '\0';
StrNCat (Variable2, Variable1, 5);
