Is it possible to store the SRAL_LOG table's Data contents in a readable way in SAP ECC?

Hello, my team is trying to monitor who views certain classified materials and when. We worked with Read Access Logs in the SRALMANAGER transaction to record just what we needed. But we can't get that data and store it elsewhere because the SRAL_LOG table that holds that recorded information has a really strange way of storing the data we need. It stores it in the RAWSTRING (BLOB) data type, and compresses it. We have jumped through every hoop we can think of to get that data uncompressed and in a readable state but have gotten stonewalled at every corner. We haven't even been able to make a single step in that direction. We are able to get everything else: the time and username of the access. Just not what material was accessed specifically. Does anyone know how we can get that data, the name/ID of the material being accessed?
