Re: What exactly is a "Binary Character" field?

BTW, using one of the data-type casting scalars BINARY() and

of the above INSERT should function as well, and more generically:

INSERT INTO test_file (BAR) VALUES( BINARY('08 Bytes') )

Hmm. And THAT did NOT require me to change the job CCSID to 65535.
