Specifies that CHAR fields from the repository are null- terminated. The module processor interprets the length field in the repository as the number of bytes in the string. If n is the length in the repository, then the number of data bytes is n-1, and the length of the string is n bytes. In other words, the precompiler assumes that the last character of the string is for the null terminator. Thus, a field that the repository lists as 10 characters can only hold a 9-character SQL field from the C precompiler. If you do not specify a character interpretation option, NULL TERMINATED BYTES is the default. For more information, see the NULL TERMINATED CHARACTERS argument in the SQL Module Language chapter of the Oracle Rdb SQL Reference Manual.
