FIX:
To read a binary file, the BINARY option of the INPUT FROM statement must be used.
The following example procedure reads a binary file into a MEMPTR variable:
PROCEDURE loadFile2Memptr:
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER ipc_fileName AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE OUTPUT PARAMETER opm_message AS MEMPTR NO-UNDO.
FILE-INFO:FILE-NAME = ipc_fileName.
SET-SIZE(opm_message) = FILE-INFO:FILE-SIZE.
INPUT FROM VALUE(ipc_fileName) BINARY NO-MAP NO-CONVERT.
IMPORT UNFORMATTED opm_message.
INPUT CLOSE.
