Take a look at the intohex() function - however as it name implies
this works on 4 byte integers, so you have to use 4 byte substrings of
the binary field and then concatenate them back together (I think -
there was a post on this same subject in one of the newsgroups at
news://forums.sybase.com/ - I suspect a search on groups.google.com
for "inttohex" will turn it up).
