Clarion in general: Copying data from string to cstring without triggering non-thread safe RTL calls 2002-12-17 -- Andy Ireland Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion

Replace with....
MoveMemory(address(SomeStr), address(SomeCStr), len) where len is strlen
call from the VC++ RTL with null or not etc.
The problem is worse for num to string etc but itoa should be used in this
case. Also unsigned vars are processed using the stack therefore all values
are long and not ulong etc. You only need the correct number of bytes to
store it and not manipulate it as unsigned which accounts for 90% of usage
i.e pointers etc.
