B&S Question on instructions

[John Mattman]

Part of my instructions says

All text values, and all fields (which are text only), contain only 8 bit characters, null terminated if less than the maximum length for the field.

Is null terminated means add spaces at the end

for example "JOE DOE "
(or)

add null for example

"Joe Doenullnull"
Thanks,

Hello John!

May be you get the answer in the topic "(B&S)I think I corrupted my Datafile".

Quote: "it means that according to the specs each string is ended with a \0 (ascii value 0)."
