3) what's up with VARGRAPHIC(50) CCSID(1200)???

VARGRAPHIC is a kind of archaic way of saying multibyte character:

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13192911/what-is-the-reason-for-the-name-vargraphic>

CCSID 1200 refers to big-endian UTF-16.

In other words, the text can be 50 Unicode *characters*, in this case
encoded as UTF-16 BE, so two bytes per character. (Other Unicode
encodings, such as UTF-8, can have varying numbers of bytes per
character, including more than 2 bytes per character.)
