I am in the middle of converting some old cobol code to PL/SQL packages. This is information that is being sent to an old legacy system, so I need to duplicate the output of the old code. So far, so good. The only problem I have is writing a file that contains one field that is binary( COBOL comp-3 ). I can read the comp-3 field using RAWTOHEX, but when I use HEXTORAW it just returns the value I pass it.

What do I need to do to get the data output in binary??

Thanks for any input.
