Reading Binary files

[Bill Beckner <Bbeckner@ICC.CC.IL.US>]

Hello SQR gurus!  I hope someone can help....

We are using SQR 4.3.4.

I'm having difficulty in reading a binary file, which is a PCL image file,
into a string variable.  I've opened the file with a record-length of 9559
(the # of bytes in the file) and set the record type as FIXED_NOLF:

    open 'P:\BILL\SQR\HR\ICCLOGO2.PCL' as #In for-reading
record=9559:fixed_nolf
       status=#InStatus

Now when I READ the file:

     READ #In into $ICCLogo:9559

I only get the first 19 bytes of the file (up to the first NULL byte).  Is
there any way to get the entire file into a single string variable?  Or is
this plan doomed to failure?  TIA!!!
