Ask the vendor exactly what the bit contents of the 3 byte field is supposed
to be. And what do they mean by "binary type". Is this an INTEGER field?
What's the PowerHouse or even the IMAGE equivalent? Once we know that we can
set the bit pattern appropriately. And where does the value show as NULL?

Hi Bob,
I'm using HP3000/957 and 7.29.C9 version of quiz. What I'm trying to
accomplish is to send the file out to a vendor and they ask me for an item
that is a binary type with 3 length and initialize to zero. Your sample
work, but it showing it as a NULL value not a zero. 
I did tried:
DEFINE X INT SIZE 4 = 0
DEFINE Y CHAR*3 = CHARACTERS(X)[2:3]

Any other idea(s).........

Thank You.

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]

Can somebody out there help in Defining an item that is a Binary type and
with the length of 3?
