[binary data type]

Used primarily by calls to API's. Few people outside of that realm usedthem. IBM examples pretty much define them as binary when they reallyshould be integer. RTM for more.

I believe the IBM API docs/examples/copy members use the B data type inRPG IV because they did a straight conversion from RPG III, which onlyhad the B data type.
