Hi David

I used this little piece of code: (don't mind what it does, its just a test)

//WRTBIN   EXEC SAS6,WORK='5000,1000'
//UITFILE  DD DSN=BF0175.IVS.OUT,DISP=OLD

DATA INLEZEN;
    VAR1 = 10;
RUN;

DATA _NULL_;
   FILE UITFILE;
   SET INLEZEN;
   PUT @1 VAR1 BINARY8.;
RUN;


And this what I got from it:

        Command ===>
***********************
00001010
***********************

It writes the 00001010 as ebcidic text and not in binary, I mean that
combination of 1's and 0's should be 1 byte.
