The retured bytes represent the 8 bits in each character of the string-argument. If the bit is &quot;on&quot;, the corresponding byte will be &quot;1&quot;. If the bit is &quot;off&quot;, the corresponding byte will be &quot;0&quot;. <br /> <br /> '''History:''' This function was added in Comet 504. <br /> <br /> '''Example 1:''' IF SUB(BINARY(FLAGBYTE$),1,1) = &quot;1&quot; GO EightyBitOn<br /> <br /> '''Example 2:''' <br /> LENGTH 5 &amp; LOCAL ITEM1$<br /> LENGTH 40 &amp; LOCAL ITEM2$<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> INPUT (0) ITEM1$<br /> <br /> ITEM2$ = BINARY(ITEM2$)<br /> <br /> In this example, a 5-byte string (ITEM$) is converted to it's binary equivalent, which results in a 40-byte string (ITEM2$).</div>
