I'm afraid I'm not familiar with a "zero terminated string"
My intended use is this:
If %str(getenv('ENV_VAR')) = 'Literal value here';
Endif;
I believe getenv() returns a null-terminated string.
Thanks

Subject: Re: %str() use discouraged?
For the purposes of converting a zero terminated string into an RPG VARCHAR, it is not inefficient. It has never been inefficient. This is what it was designed for.
For other purposes, though... ? Well, it depends on the purpose.
