Binary Characters to Decimal

Hi All,

        I've been tasked with converting a character representation of a
binary number to it's decimal equivalent and vice versa. For example I have
a series of nine characters '001011101' and I'm suppose to get the AS/400 to
come up with 93. Or I have the decimal number 321 and I need to get to
'101000001'

        I've checked the archives and all past information deals with the
conversion of a true binary number to decimal, not this character
representation of one....

        Is it possible to just move this string into a binary field and then
to a regular numeric field?

        Help...

        Thanks,
