Using the null terminator as a delimiter, reads the next set of characters up to the null terminator from the input stream and returns the set of characters read as a LONGCHAR expression. The AVM returns a runtime error if the total number of bytes read, before the null delimiter is encountered, cannot fit into a LONGCHAR expression.
