BYTE and DBLOAD

Hello Experts, The problem I'm faced with today goes like this... 1. I have a few tables with a column of the BYTE data type. 2. I am in the process of transferring data from one database to another (I am using Perl for this) With Perl I build up unload files and then use dbload to pump them into the new database. (I have not used dbexport and Import and the likes for lots of Project design reasons. I have to use Perl) 3. Now when I get a byte data and write in into a file, I suspect dbload will crib about loading it into the new database. So help me, you guys have managed to pull me out of trouble on previous instances. Please do help me out this time too. All your suggestions are valuable to me. Thanks! sherwin
