Fair enough - that's what I half expected. I'm wanting to write some
embedded sql that selects a box attribute from a relation - is there any
direct way of retrieving a BOX typed value from the select without
having to go through decoding the retrieved string. I know I can do this
using a binary cursor, but this means moving from embedded sql.
