long raw datatype

experts,

I have a oracle database, one field in a table is defined as long raw. I know this field contains a long string. Is there any function I convert them to variant type. I checked the ref. book, only find this functin "rawtohex", but it won't work on the "long raw" type. Thanks for your help.
