Re: Decrypt_Char

I have been playing around with some encryption with SQL and I can get it encrypted just fine......however, trying to decrypt it just is not working.

I have a table with one field created, its a char(25).

I encrypted the data with the following command

INSERT INTO DPTEST1 VALUES ENCRYPT_RC2('SCOTT', 'PASSWORD1','')

it works, however when I try to decrypt it with the following, I get a "ARGUMENT 01 of Function DECRYPT_CHAR not valid:

SELECT DECRYPT_CHAR( SSN, 'PASSWORD1') FROM DPTEST1

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
