Thanks for the info, Scott. Is this in reference to using the %char
BIF on my field and it getting corrupted?

hi Brad,

RPG has a rather weird default.  It doesn't use the job's CCSID by
default, instead it uses the mixed-byte CCSID that's related to the job
CCSID.

So if your job is CCSID 37, RPG will use 937.  937 fully supports CCSID
37, but will treat the x'0e' and x'0f' as "shift-in" and "shift-out"
characters, allowing it to also process Chinese symbols.

You can override this default behavior by specifying
CCSID(*CHAR:*JOBRUN) on the H-spec.

Actually I found the issue here, and it wasn't the APIs...  I was
doing some other conversions on it and doing a %CHAR on the variable
and THAT is what was messing it up...  I'm still trying to remember
why I was doing that.  :)
