BinaryEncode

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi JB,

BinaryEncode encodes data as binary data. BinaryDecode decodes binary  
data into something else, e.g. hex. You get an error because you are  
trying to encode data while indicating that you are using hex data,  
but you are using plain text (which you might assume to be binary).

Since you want to store your stack as non-binary in a field, you want  
to decode it, using

binaryDecode("h*",theBinaryData,myHexData)
put myHexData into fld id 1009

The reason why you're having problems is not that you're trying to  
transfer binary data, though. It is because you are trying to store  
binary data in a field. When you try to store binary data in a field  
and then retrieve it again, your data gets easily mixed up. If you  
store the data in a custom property instead of a field, it should work  
fine.
