I have not been there, but you could do either of:
1) Make passwordfield a varchar column. (I do not know when
varchar got added so you might not have this option.)
2) Delimit the passwordfield value as in
">"+thevalue"<"
When you want to use the value, extract the value with
substr(alltrim(passwordfield),2,len(alltrim(passwordfield)-2))
HTH.
