I have a request for a Binary column in DB2. The only column I can find that meets this requirment is a BLOB.
I will be coding a stored procedure to access this table in COBOL.
Does anyone have experience with this type of column?

There CHAR columns that have the tag "FOR BIT DATA" so the values can be manipulated at the bit level by your program.

Thanks Bill,
I ended up defining the column like this:
Code:


TESTVAR          VARCHAR(20) FOR BIT DATA
