Decimal to "Character" Binary Conversion
Q: Is there a way to convert decimal data to binary in "character" form using RPG or CL on an AS/400? 3 illustrates the type of conversion I need. The pseudo-binary will be used to test all possible permutations in another array.

Just pass in a decimal value between 0 and 255 that you want to convert and this program will pass back the binary representation in an eight-byte character field.
