Application View Information for Binary Files

[rstockton]

What should I use as data type in the application View Information for Binary files?  (CMOD 8.5.0.6 - AIX)

Thanks,
Russell

Create a user defined data type, and use the extension that your windows PC would associate with the correct software to open it.

For example, if you create a User Defined data type of .ZIP, your PC will open it with whatever software you have associated with .zip files, or if you don't have a specific tool, the operating system's archive utility.

Thanks Justin,

I have tried several different file extensions for this and haven't found anything associated with binary files.  The file I am trying to archive has text with imbedded binary.

Thanks,

Found a way to make this work for us.  Set View Information  - Data Type = Line, Code Page = 850, RECFM = Stream and Delimiter = 0A.
