Re: Processing a List from a command

Barbara,

Thank you for correcting that. I assumend 2B to be equivalent to 3I, but
of course binary fields where much older than that :-)

As Buck already told you, don't use '2B 0'. That would be a binary
field
of 2 digits, which translates to 1 byte. ...

2B uses 2 bytes. Binary with 1-4 digits is 2 bytes, and with 5-9 digits
is 4 bytes. It's only RPG's integer (I) and unsigned integer types (U)
that can have 1 byte.

So 2B is still the required 2-byte binary, but it can only hold values
up to 99, which might not work if the code is copied for some other
command.
