TN3270—Handling Null Characters
All null characters are removed when a data stream is sent from a 3270 display
station. Specify one of the following values for the handle nulls (NULLS) parameter
on the STRTCPTELN command:
*REMOVE
Removes beginning and embedded null characters
*BLANK
The default value; changes beginning and embedded null characters to blanks
Trailing null characters are always removed for both values. For example, assume
the data consists of the following (0 indicates a null):
0x0yz000
The data stream sent from a 5250 display station running Telnet 3270 full-screen
with the default *BLANK would contain the following:
xyz
The data stream sent from a 3270 display station or from a 5250 display station
running a Telnet 3270 full-screen session when the value *REMOVE is specified
would contain the following:
xyz
The value *REMOVE is valid for the following devices:
v Any locally attached display
v Displays attached to a remote 5394 controller
v Personal computer displays using the workstation function
