To do this I have to access our AS/400 DB. I have a problem when data is stored on the AS/400 as Packed or Zoned data types. The Delphi components that I have simply return [Bytes]. How can I convert these into readable data within say a DBGrid component? When browsing the data using SQL Explorer the data appears to be okay, however pasting the same query into the TADOQuery component gives me the problems outlined above. I have even imported the Client Access ActiveX and attempted to use the Get_Bytes routine within the TPackedConverter component without success.

Hi, I have had terrible problems with Zoned and gave up. However, I use tfloatfield with packed with complete success. Note: we are using systemobjects delphi400 components though, but odbc from delphi 1 days was the same.
