AW: Hex to char.

["HauserSSS" <Hauser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, it won't work, because CAST only converts between different data types. 
All values in datatypes are stored in a hexa decimal representation.

There is a scalar function HEX() to get the hexa decimal representation of a 
value, 
but not the inverse.

Would the SQL CAST work?
