Out of the box, no, I wasn't setting a different encoding, but as a course of trying to find a solution, I did try multiples. Nothing seemed to affect the situation, so I went back to the defaults.
I also did play with the getasbinary, but I didn't try 'never'; I actually tried 'yes', thinking I could decode the binary results into a working string. I'll try the 'never' option.
