What language are you calling this from? In any case, you should be able to use the cast(val,type) mysql function to do what you want. IE:
IN (cast(1001,varchar),cast(a/bb/001,varchar),...)

I have no idea what mySQL is like, and I have no experience with it. However, if you are EVER planning on using JavaScript, you can use the .toString() function, as in:
var fdsa = 1234;
var fdsa2 = fdsa.toString();
var fdsa3 = fdsa2.length;

That kind of thing.
