I'm afraid my question was unclear. Unfortunately, I asked two questions with opposite senses, and I don't know which one you answered. Please clarify which of my interpretations of your answer is what you intended:
(1) It is ONLY absolutely safe to include chr(0)....IF you typecast your ansistring to a pchar, and thus IF you treat it as an ansistring WITHOUT the typecast to pchar, it is NOT safe.
(2) It IS absolutely safe to include chr(0), UNLESS you typecast it to pchar...because typcasting to pchar is an INSTANCE (per my 2nd question) where it will cause different behavior...
Gimme a (1) or a (2). Thanks.
(2) because in a pchar, #0 is an end-of-string marker.
