Stumped on this the first time:

DCL VAR(&DACHAR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(90) /* text from LCP972DA */

DCL VAR(&ENDHH) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(02) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 01) /*End Hour, 24 hour fmt */

DCL VAR(&ENDMM) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(02) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 04) /*End Minute, 00-59 */

DCL VAR(&WAITSEC) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(03) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 41) /*Wait Seconds, 000-999 */

DCL VAR(&ENDJOB) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(03) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 85) /* END = End Job */

RTVDTAARA DTAARA(LCP972DA (1 90)) RTNVAR(&DAchar)

I was able to EVAL each VAR and see its value, except for EVAL &ENDJOB,
which raised CPF7E56 . . . ???

Finally I added an extra variable like so:

DCL VAR(&DACHAR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(90) /* text from LCP972DA */

DCL VAR(&ENDHH) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(02) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 01) /*End Hour, 24 hour fmt */

DCL VAR(&ENDMM) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(02) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 04) /*End Minute, 00-59 */

DCL VAR(&WAITSEC) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(03) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 41) /*Wait Seconds, 000-999 */

DCL VAR(&ENDJOB) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(03) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 85) /* END = End Job */

DCL VAR(&LASTCH) TYPE(*CHAR) STG(*DEFINED) LEN(01) DEFVAR(&DACHAR 89) /* extra, not used */

Problem solved ?
I can now EVAL each VAR and see the value, except for EVAL &LASTCH, which raises CPF7E56 . . .
but I don't need &LASTCH
