COBSQL - Sybase

Sybase provides three binary data types: BINARY, VARBINARY and IMAGE. IMAGE is a complex data type and as such, host variables can be defined as CS-IMAGE, for example:

 EXEC SQL
     BEGIN DECLARE SECTION
 END-EXEC.
*
* Define item as Sybase specific data type.
*
 01 image-item     CS-IMAGE.
*
 EXEC SQL
     END DECLARE SECTION 
 END-EXEC.

Note:

For more information on using the Sybase data types of BINARY, VARBINARY and IMAGE, please refer to the chapter Using and Creating Datatypes in the Sybase Transact-SQL User's Guide.
