Forbid converting String to Date format [message #1066040]

Hello.
I have an SQL DataSet with a String Info attribute.
It is used in DynamicText like
'Info: <span style...>'+row["INFO"]+'</span>'

Usually Info attribute comes with some normal text, but sometimes it may containt just a date: '01.06.13' - still being a String!
The problem is when Info comes with a date in its string value report output is like:
"Info: Sat Jun 01 0013 00:00:00 GMT+0400 (MSK)"
while I need just
"Info: 01.06.13"

And seems I can't use a date formatter because usually Info is not a date.
How to forbid BIRT converting '01.06.13' String to date format?

Thanks.
BIRT 4.2.

Are you able to reproduce this with any database type? Or only with your SQL dataSet?
