What platform are you on? Not sure if this is what you're after but... If
you're trying to get Binary data into an item of length 3, you can use the
CHARACTERS function. Set an INTEGER SIZE 4 to hold the bit pattern you want
and then use the CHARACTERS function like this:

DEFINE X INT SIZE 4 = << value >>
DEFINE Y CHAR*3 = CHARACTERS(X)[2:3]
