Specifies that text fields from the dictionary are null- terminated. The module processor interprets the length field in the dictionary as the number of bytes in the string. If n is the length in the dictionary, then the number of data bytes is n-1 and the length of the string is n bytes. In other words, the module processor assumes that the last character of the string is for the null terminator. Thus, a field that the dictionary lists as 10 characters can hold only a 9- character SQL field from the C module language. (Other module languages could fit a 10-character SQL field into it.) If you do not specify a character interpretation option, NULL TERMINATED BYTES is the default.
