Hi readers,

I'm writing a small database program using Dbase, which uses the printer.
Therefore I need to send the null character, because it is part of a
printer control code. It is used in the following context:
SET PRINT ON
?? ....+CHR(0)+..
|
SET PRINT OFF

The problem is, the printer doesn't receive the null character (I checked
it with a hex-dump). Does anyone know what how to do it in another way??

BTW: it is dbase 3+.

Thanks in advance.
