atable.FieldByName('ACharField').AsString := Char(aval);which is working I think. Not sure if this is faster or slower than just using a TIBSQL.
Cheers, Phil.

Hi
Just go unlazy and checked the 'Firebird book'. There is an Ascii_Char(Value) function in the IB_UDF.dll library that should do what you need. (didn't bother to post to FB support group)

I'm not a member of the Firebird support group. Yes, please post it, but could you also point me to where to join?

Hi Phil
I can't guarantee it but Char() is probably in one of the add on dlls for Firebird. I can post your question on the Firebird support group if you are not a member :)
I don't know If I have asked this, but do you have a sister called Janet?

That was the first thing I tried too, unfortunately illegal in Firebird.

------------------------------------------------------------------------Not sure about FireBird but in SQL Server that would be
INSERT INTO MYTABLE VALUES (1, Char(34))
Does that help?

Subject: [DUG] casting a number as a char in IB SQL
I'm running into difficulty trying to convert the number 34 into a CHAR
(length 1) in an INSERT statement using Firebird/Interbase. This is the
query as I'm trying it:
INSERT INTO MYTABLE VALUES(1, Cast(34 as CHAR))
which it doesn't like - it seems to be trying to convert 34 into the string '34' which is 2 characters instead of #34.
Am I trying to do the impossible? The Character Set for the relevant field is 'WIN1251' does that make a difference?
Cheers, Phil.
