Embedded Nulls

I'm reading fixed length records from a flat text file.  Some records have
an embedded null character in the middle of the record and when I use the
"substr" function to extract data beyond this point, nothing is returned.
I'm assuming SQR is treating the null as a line terminator.

Has anyone ever encountered this and found a work around (I can't control
the source of the input file)
