As I had said, draconian restrictions for mapping in and out of

literal\constants in the CAST as seen there; irrespective of the job
CCSID. What release and fix level for that failure?

V6R1. Dunno the details, and I'm already off-duty for the day.

INSERT INTO test_file (BAR) VALUES( CAST('08 Bytes' as BINARY(8)) )

That worked, with the CCSID changed. Thanks.
