problem with characters in dynamic ESQL

Hello, I am using dynamic ESQL select statements to fetch an unsigned char(1) into my host variables. Now with dyn ESQL, all the data returned from the DESCRIBE (via DATA) comes back to me as strings. When I try to print this value, I get nothing, When I use the dbaccess tool to view this value, sometimes I see an alphanumeric Beta in it. Is there a known problem with character arrays that contain one byte only when using Dyn. ESQL? It appears to me that the data is somewhat encoded with the DESCRIBE statement. How do I decode it to print it???
