Hi Nick,
U can probably set the environment variable APT_STRING_PAD_CHAR to the char which you want to be used for padding instead of null.By default DS will pad string with null.HTH

"Pad with null" is unfortunate terminology. It actually pads with the ASCII NUL character (0x00), which is different from null (unknown value). Since C recognizes 0x00 as "end of string", this default is entirely appropriate.
If you've put space characters (0x20) into your string, they should be handled correctly under default settings.
