Hi everybody..
Need to know what's the difference between VB's 6.0 CHR and Clipper/Harbour/xHabour's one

I have a VB sample which comunicates with an OCX

Ex.

data= chr(0)
fe.addDataField data

In harbour/xHarbour

data:= Chr(0)
Ef:Do("addDataField",data)

Both are supposed to add some data to a string which is sent to a Com port.

BUT.......
If I use PortMon to monitor the com port, I can see that in VB the field is added with "00" in the string sent to the port, but in xHarbour sample, this part is missing, so It fails.
I read about Chr(0) in the NG's and I understand that it is equivalent to a null character, but I need to know the ASCII character code for 0 ( cero )

Any way to do it

Thanks in advance...

'0' = chr(asc('0'))

Adolfo,

if you need to send a string with chr(0) then:

'0' == chr( asc( '0' ) )

but... chr( 0 ) != '0'
