Re: Problem with dbacces (IDS 9.21).

You cannot see the value using dbaccess, it is designed primarily for use in character oriented environments, hence it is not possible to view these datatypes. You need to use another tool, one that supports visual representation of this type of data. I would suggest that you try using an ODBC connection from a PC with a 3rd party tool.
