List API header info

I was writing a utility to get information from the common API header area...
and ran into a strange thing:
When I received the data for CCSID, country ID, location ID, and sublist
indicator, none of these had anything, and I even received an error message
during the process.
Here's a code sample of what I was doing:

(CL pgm)

1. Created user space QTEMP/@TSTRTVUS
2. CALL PGM(QUSLMBR) PARM('@TSTRTVUS QTEMP     ' +
   'MBRL0100' 'QRPGSRC   QSYSINC   ' +
   '*ALL      ' '0')
3. Retreived user space into receiver variable (at least 193 length)
4. CHGVAR VAR(&CCSID) VALUE(%BIN(&RECEIVER 141 4))
   CHGVAR VAR(&CID) VALUE(%SST(&RECEIVER 145 2))
   CHGVAR VAR(&LID) VALUE(%SST(&RECEIVER 147 3))
   CHGVAR VAR(&SUBLST) VALUE(%SST(&RECEIVER 150 1))

I received a CPF0818 message on the CHGVAR &CCSID line. (Don't know the
message text offhand, something like could not change var to implied type.)

My program dump shows:
&CCSID  *DEC    5 0     0
&CID            *CHAR   2       '  '
&LID            *CHAR   3       '   '
&SUBLST *CHAR   1       ' '

If I read the object dump correctly (I could be off by 1)I think I'm getting:
&CCSID  0A 00 00 00 hex
&CID            00 00 
&LID            00 00 00
&SUBLST 00

After pos 140 on the specific line in my object dump, is all 00s.
There's absolutely nothing looking like char data for country/language IDs,
etc.

Does this normally occur, or is it just the specific API I'm using?

Other than those 4 items not showing correctly, my utility works great! (Will
post on web site soon.)
