Bob,
True CCS does not doe sprintf(), however they have a variation of printf()
it's a bit strange to setup it goes like this

char* pS;
char Array[20]; // length your choice

void MakeString(char c) // name this function to anything you like
{
   *pS++ = c;
}

Somewhere where you need it, make a call to printf like this

printf( MakeString,"This is the string");

The Array now contains the string "This is the string"

It's handy for converting floats

float fVar ;
fVar = 123.456;
printf( MakeString,"%f", fVar);

Array now contains the ascii of float value 123.456;

May be this has been covered before, I expect it has, hope it helps;
