Action

Compiler directive for changing the behavior of the DATA statements.

 

 

Syntax

$NONULL = value

 

 

Remarks

value

0 for default behavior. And -1 for special behavior

 

When a string is stored with a DATA statement, a null is added to indicate the string end. In some situations you might not want this. When you write a custom routine to work with a long string for example. With $NONULL = -1 , the additional null byte is not added. To switch back to normal mode use a value of 0.
