debug doesn't show full fortran string with embedded 0 byte

I am trying to use the debugger to view the contents of a
fortran string with embedded zero bytes. Quickwatch, watch
and variable boxes only show the string up to the first
zero byte treating it as a C string terminator.

How can i make the whole string viewable.

Also: How can i see the actual numeric value of each byte
in a string?

I really miss the unix command line dbx debugger.
Maybe one can be included in the IVF distribution!

thank you

I don't think the treatment of strings in this regard is under our control. What I do for examining strings in hex is to use the Memory window.

Intel Visual Fortran is planned to include a command-line debugger derived from Compaq/DEC ladebug (currently idb on Linux.)
