The column REALLY sensless. It's just an identity of a CHAR(3) type... THIS is much easier.

declare @INT int

set @INT = 32768 --(smallint)

declare @VB varbinary(3)

set @VB = cast( @INT as varbinary(3))

select @VB,

CHAR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@VB, 1, 1)) + 33) +

CHAR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@VB, 2, 1)) + 33) +

CHAR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@VB, 3, 1)) + 33)
