The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
reading from a database table (declared with fixed length strings for easier handling in RPG for green screen use) with the _R API calls returns fixed length strings, filled with spaces until the space is exhausted.
Do I need to come up with a hand crafted function to "convert" these to C-style strings, or does IBM i provide an API for achieving this? By "conversion" I want to point out that I don't care if that function just places a NUL on the proper position's original buffer, or the string gets just copied and the copy is treated accordingly.
My Google searches yield a lot of unrelated information, because the question seems rather generic. The IBM API finder list yielded no usable results by searches for string, fixed or NUL.
Thanks for your hints!
:wq! PoC
