Re: Passing equivalent of VB value vbNull in an RPG Program

Are you saying that this value is being passed in a stored procedure call
from the PC side? If yes, if the field is null, the OS always passes the
null as a 0 or 1 flag.

Just curious if anyone can answer this with certainty before I research
more.

Have an RPG field as such to represent Null value:
D Null S 1A Inz(X'00')

Customer needs to pass this value to an API call in one of our service
programs and it goes thru EBCDIC to ASCII translation.

Anyone know if this actually translates to an appropriate PC null value ?

If not, do you know what character might translate to vbNull.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
