Arbitrary String with Null Chars in DataMatrix

I am trying to embed arbitrary data (ranging from 0x00-0xFF) into a DataMatrix for my label. I have a script running a transformation from a database source for data written en hex, format. But I seem to be running into a problem when a Null character (0x00) is part of this data. Seems the null character is breaking VB strings. Is there a work-around for this?

  This is in the BarTender Help screens and not sure if it is what you are looking for

  VBScript

  When writing custom VBScripts in BarTender, you can refer to the NUL character using the Unicode value "0xEF00". Note that this value is supported only for objects which support binary data.
