Thanks for the answer. I hear you and agree that this is just poor design. Using proper data format will be the only reasonable solution in the long term. Problem is, I just came in to the project and the coming release is this weekend. Making any changes in code now is extremely risky as this is a complex application and I don't know where else there might be dependencies. I have already planned to get this corrected as soon as we are done with this release. Unfortunately, I do not have the time/resources to get this done and tested before this release. Hence, need to find some temporary solution for a few days. Anyway, thanks for the insights.
