Hello,
I can confirm: there is a lack of information. base.TypeInfo.create does not distinguish empty strings from NULLs.
Trailing blanks are not significant in 4GL. "foo" == "foo   " returns TRUE. Strings are right-trimmed by base.TypeInfo.create for that reason.
 
The attribute value should hold a single blank character (" "). That's the way how UNLOAD serializes CHAR and VARCHAR.

A new bug "base.TypeInfo.create() must distinguish empty strings form NULLs" should be created.
