To print Binary Value in a report

Hi all

I want to print a Binary value in a easy trieve output report.
When I print a Binary field, its just printing the binary value (junk values)

whereas if we print a Packed decimal, easytrieve automatically prints it in a user understandable way. (Implicit Casting is happening)

But binary field doesn't do this.

Can any one help me on this

Thanks
Swami

First check if you have defined your binary field properly or not. It should be defined with B attribute.
