Hello,
Does anyone know of any undesirable side effects of storing the acsii(0)
NUL in a field in an Image Dataset? And for the ?inevitable? future,
how about any other DB's for that matter?
How might this affect any PowerHouse applications?
Initial testing seems to show no side effects. Size() and Index() seem
to work properly on the test data. Printing also seems unaffected.
I'm looking to use it or another ascii character as a logical separator
in free form text entry, when no space occurs in the text, such as in a
URL string.
TIA,
