NUL() Converts the value returned by a function into a null string ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax NUL(<expValue>) --> cNull Argument <expValue> Designates an expression or function that has a return value you want to suppress. Returns NUL() always returns a null string as a value. Description NUL() converts a function that returns a value into a function that returns a null string. This suppresses the returned value for every function. Note . The function is not VOID. It returns a value of a specific data type -- a (null) string. Therefore, you cannot use this function to compare with other data types (see Examples). Examples . Wait for a key stroke: ? "Please press a key :" + NUL(INKEY(0)) . Show output that uses LIST and waits for a key stroke after 20 lines: LIST Name, IF(RECNO() %20 = 0, NUL(INKEY(0)), "") . This leads to a TYPE MISMATCH: ? 3 = NUL(INKEY(5)) // Error after 5 seconds ? 7 + NUL(INKEY()) // Leads to error, like saying 7+""
