CVTTOBIN8 -- Convert to Binary 8
The Convert to Binary 8 command converts a 20 byte character input value to a binary 8 field. This is the inverse of the CVTBIN8 tool function. Some system functions deal in 8 byte binary values. Neither CL nor RPG III handles 8 byte binary values. RPG IV does. The value to convert must be right adjusted and passed in a *CHAR LEN(20) value.
