I am trying to print barcodes in a 4gl report to an Okidata printer. As I have found out, 4gl does not "play" with non-printable characters! Is there anyway to force 4gl to send out my characters without striping the NULs, etc. I have tried char/varchar/byte/ascii/standing on my head! Has anyone found a way to "handle" this problem?
