It's been working in PB Classic all along, still works in PB Classic 12.5.2, same ODBC connection. Doesn't work in PB .net 12.5.2
This is the identical trace in PB Classic 12.5.2
Well, for proprietary reasons I'm not going to show that, suffice to say that the trace shows some "preparation" being done to the SQL with the TO_CHAR, then executes it and fetches a few hundred rows.
