Loading Binary Values 

Use

All numeric external data types (INTEGER, REAL, DECIMAL, ZONED) are interpreted as binary values.
These can be converted to any of the
internal data types (FIXED, SMALLINT, INTEGER, FLOAT) used by the database.

You can use the FASTLOAD command and the DATALOAD command to load external binary values into database tables.

DATALOAD TABLE hotel
      hnr     01-04 INTEGER
      name    09-18
      zip     20-25 DECIMAL
      city    27-36
      price   41-44 REAL
INFILE 'hotel.data' FORMATTED

Prerequisites

You must specify the source file in the load command with either the FORMATTED format or the FORMATTED BINARY format. The file must be coded in binary.
