Thanks Hans.  I learn a lot from you and this list that I miss reading the
RPG Manual.  Where were you when I started teaching myself RPG in 89?

By default, all binary fields in DDS get mapped to binary
decimal fields in RPG.  However, if you want binary DDS
fields to be treated as integer in RPG, use H-Spec keyword
EXTBININT(*YES).  This applies both to external records
and to externally described data structures.  Note that
only binary fields with zero decimal places can be treated
as integer.

Cheers!  Hans
