Hi, Well ... yes and no. All conversion is done on the server side, so the IOC libraries contain a matrix with conversion functions from any database field type (DBF_...) into any CA request basic type (DBR_...) and vice versa. (The - admittedly old and not really beautiful - code is in (BASE)/src/db/dbConvert.c) If your question is about the client side, you can of course simply request the value as a string (and one of the mentioned functions will be called on the server). If you already have the value and want to convert to string locally, you're pretty much on your own. No one keeps you from using the server side code for that, of course, but - depending on the language your client is using - there might be easier ways to achieve the same thing. Hope this helps, Ralph
