Hello
in PB, there is a NUL$() function which return a null or blank string consisting of a specified number of characters
for example  
       DIM gast as string
       gast = NUL$(10)
        will give a string of 10 blank characters
     what is the O2 equivalent function?
     the below code is what i use for O2 now which is not efficint 
     
 
     local gast as string
     gast = "           "  
appreciate any help
