Tip Tip
The PSZ type is included in the X# language and runtime for compatibility only. In most cases the type can and should be replaced with normal strings.
If you need to interface with Win32 API functions that expect an ansi string, there is often also an alternative with a unicode string. We recommend to use that alternative when possible.
Examples
This example uses Psz2String() to convert a null-terminated string to a strongly typed string:
X#
1LOCAL cMyBuffer AS STRING
2LOCAL pszString AS PSZ
3pszString := String2Psz("zero terminated")
4cMyBuffer := Psz2String(pszString)
