Hi everybody, I want to print the hexvalue 0 into the file using informix 4gl report function. (ie. START REPORT, OUTPUT REPORT, FINISH REPORT) When I pass hexavalue 0 to report, it converts to space. ie hexavalue 20.All other numbers are OK except 0. Hope any one can help..... Thanks

The I4GL ASCII function returns blank for ASCII(0) in regular functions, but returns an actual ASCII NUL ('\\0' or 0) inside a report. No, I've never understood why, either. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.62 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
