The AddParameterBin Method

AddParameterBin ($IOType, , $Size, $Comment, $Name, $Value) - Defines the binary  type parameter.  This parameter allows you to define data that does not require EBCDIC/ASCII conversion for example Unicode (UTF-8) data or Blob/Clob data, to be sent and received as hexadecimal.

The parameter input value, which is binary, should be converted to a hexadecimal string type and the output parameter returned by a program, which is a hexadecimal string should be converted to binary type.
