This is weird.

We've got a rather complex query. All of the numeric fields (the results
of complex calculations) come out correct, regardless of whether we use
STRSQL, SQuirrelL, or a BIRT report.

But the character fields, which look fine in STRSQL, come out as
hexidecimal in SQuirrelL and BIRT reports (both of which use JDBC).

Any insights?

Is CCSID(65535) involved?
