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.


If the question is really about using vbNullChar instead of vbNull, then the 0x00 character is the "null character" [abbrev: NUL] in both encodings:
