converting int to bitstream

Hi,
I am getting a bigint(64 bit) from a DB2 database. Now I need to convert it into string[max=12]. My logic here to split 64 bit int into 8 X 8 bit fields and then consider each 8 bit as a char and then concatenate to form a string.
Can anybody give me an idea to solve this problem.
Thanks

Apply Ockham's Razor - your "solution" is way too complex. Just use an inbuilt integer-to-string conversion function.
