SYMPTOMS
NOTE: This also applies to Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000.

While using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2 through Microsoft Access to query a host database, you may receive the following error:

DIAG [22005] [Microsoft][ODBC DB2 Driver] Invalid character value for cast specification.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because binary columns are incorrectly mapped to character columns, which causes Microsoft Access to stop responding.
