I want to send some BYTE type data using TCP, but
there are no such a type in PB, what should I do?

In Powerbuilder you need to use a string to send data, this is equivalent to char* variable. However, because of the way that Powerbuilder terminates strings (with a 0x00, null) you can't send zeros with our TCP control in PB, if that is what you would like to do. We don't know of a work around to solve this problem.

I found the answer! You can define an ANY type variable to solve this problem. For example

char lc[]
any lnull
lc[1]=char(0)
lnull=lc
x.object.send(lnull)
