If it was varChar(), the hex would be different than the char. If varChar, with a hex of x'000012345600', the 1st char would be x'12'. I know that '1' is the first character and '2' is the second.

Appears to be a Vary(2) char.
Try a Varchar(6)
Where the first two bytes are the length.
If it works it would show something like this in hex:
X'0006123456'

Does anyone know where I can find the parameter definitions for Navigator for i Message Monitors? This document (
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ibm.com_developerworks_community_wikis_home-3Flang-3Den-23-21_wiki_IBM-2520i-2520Technology-2520Updates_page_System-2520Monitors&d=DwICAg&c=2S-2xx8Cum_thMfWs-kOOHQTwolPvSZ4PFLhr1wDDGs&r=GYVfe7k5MogwSsRr94zbPeTDRJYpFK3WOG9BKFEwK1s&m=1cR1GDeOUzW-1UC2EAKzHkfbuQLQFcNfiKNrYRLnLEA&s=0WUq_aWs-bxcr81xuXA21CYgfC7tSYjMjMXOzqka4x8&e=) gives the parameter names and lengths, but not the data type.
Specifically, I'm having trouble with:
&FRMJOBNUMBER From job number for the message causing the trigger (length 6).
I first defined it as char(6). That came in as unreadable characters. The hex was x'000012345600', where 123456 was the actual job#. I tried packed(6), but that gave a decimal-data-error.
