Hmm. To be extremely literal, this does what you are asking:

declare
    A : integer := 1;
    B : integer;
begin
    B := A;
end;

Now B has the same binary representation of an integer that A has.
Note that "binary representation" means "a pattern of bits, usually
stored in memory".

But I suspect you meant something else. 

Can you say more about what you are trying to do?
