You can use %CHAR to convert from UCS-2 to character.

D X              s          1C    inz(U'006E')
D chr            s          1A

D stringC        s       5000C
D stringA        s       5000A   varying

      chr = %char(x)
      stringA = %char(%subst(stringC : 1 : numberOfUcs2Chars))

The number of Ucs2 chars is half the number of bytes.
