Array scan on dynamic strings

[Edwin Knoppert]

We use an array with dynamic strings.
The first 4 bytes are used for index purposes.
If the string is empty, will PB recognize this and skip this item on scan?

(Using from 1 to 4)

If you specify the byte range in the ARRAY SCAN statement (FROM..TO), then empty (nul) strings will not match the given search expression so they are effectively passed over.

ARRAY SCAN A(iStart&) FOR iCount&, FROM 5 TO 8, = "TEST", TO iResult&

Thanks,

I was a bit worried this could lead to a crash or so, therefore..
