I can't find the reference right now, but I'm fairly certain this
happens
because RPG passes (and expects) a single char field to be just
that.  CL on the
other hand follows the pattern of C and expects a char field to be
passed as a
two byte int.  Not sure of the best way to specify this in CL, but
you could get
round the problem probably by having the RPG return a 2 char
field.

if i specify the returnvalue field as 'any number of bytes greater
than 1' in the cl and then just look at the first character, it works. I
just didn't think it possible that that was the correct way to handle
the problem.

i've not found any documentation concerning this in the online
books.  You'd think this would be something worth mentioning.
