I do get a couple of warnings at compile time:
intrasend.c:496:37: warning: multi-character character constant
intrasend.c:496:44: warning: multi-character character constant
intrasend.c:517:84: warning: character constant too long for its type
Here's what is in the variable "data" = "0018`0018`64045`08112005`64045`1````Discount=0.00;``2``~"
printf("%s", encrypt(data, "foo", "bar"))
prints out (null)
Thank you

Try printing out the contents of 'query_buff' here. You shouldn't be
getting NULLs in the table, but you may well be getting '' (the empty
string) if encrypt(data, 'foo', 'bar') returns "" or (char *) (0).

Even better, don't do i t this way. This is potentially open to SQL
injection attacks and definitely open to problems with "interesting" values
of key.
Look up PQprepare/PQexecParams for separating the query string from the
values. I use ODBC indirectly, so I can't help you directly, but the docs
at

should help.

Can't see any reason why not, so long as the encrypted data is represented
as text.
