I'm afraid you'll have to find out what exactly the author meant with
"binary-coded" i.e. how did he code it? Perhaps there's an
introductory note in the format's documentation about what
binary-coded is.
Once you know how to interpret the bytes you'll probably have to put
all three of them in a memory block to then extract the real
information back out of it.

I'm using a structure to read some data from a binary file, having
the record format of the data inside the file.
all is working fine for text data, but on the record format I have:
chars 10 to 12 - date (day/month/year, expressed as a binary-coded
decimal number)
I'm using a text field on the structure to read this, because only
reading as a string I can specify the number of chars to read,
but I'm quite confused about trasforming this chunk of binary data
in an integer.
thank you,
Giulio
