Non-ASCII Characters

[zano_villa]

Thank you for quick answer but I suppose I was not clear in my question, so I will report an example:

let's say that I want send the string "QUADRATIC" which has 9 characters.
I can send a message with the string "QUADRATIC" and PDL = 9 and it would be certainly ok.
Or I could send a message with the string "QUADRATIC",<0x00>,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv" and PDL = 32.
What about this second choice (see 10.1 of standard)?

Thank you

Section 10.1 states:
The Parameter Data Length shall accordingly be set to match the actual size of the text string being sent.

The statement covering what shall be done in the case that a NULL is encountered, as I often see, does not qualify the use of NULL characters as appropriate.

In my responder implimentations, I use null values to determine stored string length when shorter than 32, however, there is no need to return more characters that are available before the first NULL.
