The following information is about Binary Format.
Binary Format Defined
Any file format in which information is encoded in some format other than a standard character encoding scheme . A file written in binary format contains information which is not displayable as characters. Software capable of understanding the particular binary format method of encoding information must be used to interpret the information in a binary formatted file. Binary formats are often used to store more information in less space than possible in a character format file. They can also be searched and analyzed more quickly by appropriate software. A file written in binary format could store the number "7" as a binary number (instead of as a character) in as little as 3 bits (i.e., 111), but would more typically use 4 bits (i.e., 0111). Binary formats are not normally portable, however. Software program files are written in binary format. Examples of numeric data files distributed in binary format include: the IBM-binary versions of the Center for Research in Security Prices files, the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Trade Data Bank on CD-ROM . The International Monetary Fund distributes International Financial Statistics in a mixed character-format and binary (packed-decimal ) ) format. SAS and SPSS store their system files in binary format.
