Normally I'd say "every bug is worth a bug report" ... In this concrete
case, given the ... difficulty for the core development team to get
their fingers on a AS/400 DB, the age of the DB system in question, and
the suspicion that this is a problem of the ODBC driver (the "<OBJECT>"
suggests that it returns some kind of binary data type for the columns
in question), I'd say that in reality, the issue would just add to the
pile ... :-\

Ciao
Frank
