*/bset [-tacz] <&binvar> <N> <asciivalue> [asciivalue ... asciivalue]*

Sets the <N>th byte in binary variable &binvar to the specified ascii value.

_If N = -1, the data is added to the end of the variable._

If the &binvar docent exists it is created.
If <N> is larger than the size of &binvar it will be zero filled up to <N> bytes.
If you specify multiple "ASCII":http://www.asciitable.com/ values, they are copied to successive positions after byte position N.
