long and long raw

[brekhof]

I'm running DOA 3.4.3 against an Oracle 8.04 server using Delphi 5 (actually there is an Asta server between but it has no role in this). I'm confronted with a problem I can not solve. Text stored in a 'long' gets converted is some sort of ASCII representation and shows like '6264..' after storing and retrieving. With a 'long raw' there seems to be no problem. However, the field needs to get displayed on the web using Cold Fusion which only retrieves long's.
How to get rid of the automatic conversion of the long?

tia,

A LONG is not converted to any other representation by Direct Oracle Access. This conversion must occur 'somewhere else'.
