possible document error

Section 6.6 of the manual gives this decsription of
the FILE HANDLE syntax:

     FILE HANDLE handle_name
             /NAME='filename'
             /MODE={CHARACTER,IMAGE}
             /LRECL=rec_len
             /TABWIDTH=tab_width

But below this definition, rather than describing the IMAGE mode,
there is a description of the BINARY mode:

"   By contrast, in BINARY mode, the data file is opened in ANSI C binary
mode and records are a fixed length.  In BINARY mode, LRECL specifies
the record length in bytes, with a default of 1024.  Tab characters are
never expanded to spaces in binary mode."

Should the syntax definition say 'BINARY' instead of 'IMAGE'?
