Maybe i misunderstood you on IRC, you need the value of the variable
or the contents of the variable? 

If you want to have the numerical value as string, simply use the Str() 
function of the System unit. 
See the docs: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu177.html

I thought you needed the contents of the variable to printed out
from byte to byte. (for eg. you have a 4 byte ID number, as a longint 
and you wanted it as a string.).
