Using TIMPORT in CSV format

Hi,
I want to populate a table which has blob type fields using the timport functionality. But, I get error when I declare the type of the fields in the schema file as varchar or blob.
Do I need to recreate the table having only varchar fields instead of blob or is there a way to convert the blob fields into varchar fields?
Thanx,

Older versions of timport did not know about blobs. What you can do is create the table manually first, then change the field type in the timport schema to varchar, and use timport -V which will prevent it from verifying the schema.

yeah it works now. Am I using an older version of TIMPORT? If yes, then, can I get the latest version?
