I was tasked with creating this new output record for an existing VB6 app. The new record(s) first field cotains a text value that contains a transaction code. The second field needs to be of type binary while the remainder of the record is text. The sample file I received does infact look this way. Field one is text value, followed by what looks like grabage, and then more text.
If I open this text file in an editor like TextPad (using the binary format), I can see the Hex representation of the second field. I need to create the same type of record format using my values: F2 34 25 E4 06 88 81 01 I thought I was close to an answer when I looked up UTF8Encoding Class. I can't ask the team who created the sample file because it came from a COBOL application on a mainframe. I'm sure they used something like: Field1 X(06). Field2 X(08) COMP3. Field3 X(10). The application is in VB6. I can either modify the application to read (at minimum) a hex string and return a Binary value or create a literal value of this Binary field.
