Re: SQL weirdness: character fields look fine in STRSQL, but turn to hex in SQuirreL or in a BIRT report

Hi James

This is typically caused by CCSID 65535 somewhere in the mix - the values are not being converted from their hex values, as you saw.

Check QCCSID on the system, check a property on the connection to convert text or not,stuff like that.

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?
