A PL/SQL datatypes conversion question

Dear list !

There is a column of datatype RAW in a table. it contains 4 numbers (4 bytes each) and a string of 54 bytes , that are concatenated and then converted to RAW by an external C++ application. I need to convert it back in a PL/SQL trigger. I.e. i need retrieve that RAW column , and divide it according to the offset to the 4 numbers and the string.
The problem is that i haven't found any cast_to_number or hextonumber conversion functions .
UTL_RAW only has got CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 function , and there is also the standard RAWTOHEX conversion function.
How can i sort it out , please ?

Thanks a lot in advance ,

DBAndrey
