ByteArray object to string

[Anj01]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to an AS400 database. The query runs fine and returns
values . But when I try and display some of the values ,I get an error
ByteArray objects cannot be converted to string.
The table the data is retrieved from is actually contructed from another table
in AS400 with some formattign to the fields like substring.
When I try and display these fields in coldfusion pages I get the error.
Any idea how I can change it to string

Thanks
