METHOD BinaryCommand : Error

Issue a binary command

NOTE: If you are doing a SELECT/OPERATE but choose not to use the autoMode mask to do this, but instead are going to call this brm function to send the SELECT and then call this function again to send the OPERATE, you will need to increase the pReqDesc->priority of the OPERATE to 255 to guarantee it gets sent before any automatic processing of events is performed. (Automatic processing of events is enabled by default when the mdnp session was opened). For example, if in the response to the SELECT the restart IIN bit is set and the session was set up to automatically send a clear restart command, you will want to make sure the OPERATE gets sent before the clear restart, otherwise the operate will fail.
