Procedure documentation Loading Binary Values Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

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

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

Example

DATALOAD TABLE hotel
      hno     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 data stream in the load command with either the FORMATTED format or the FORMATTED BINARY format. The data stream must be coded in binary.
