Here I'm again ...
I'm parsing the DataRow(B), and I'm having problems with NULL values.
In the docs I can read they have a -1 value, an no bytes follow

But I'm getting a 1020 value instead of -1
You're using RealBasic or something, right?
If so, you're probably doing something funky with signed/unsigned
integer handling and the representation of integers.
-1 is 0xffffffff as a _signed_ 32 bit integer, same in little-endian
or
big-endian form. The same hex value as an unsigned integer is
4294967295 .

I don't know where you're getting the 1020, but 4294967295 is
MAXUINT32
and suggests you're treating the data as an unsigned rather than a
signed 32 bit integer.
yes, you're right, I had and old legacy code that was processing
incorrectly the received data as string directly than getting the
binary ...
what I see that it was working all the time, except the -1 ...
now it returns -1 ...
thanks !
