If AR was really alpha, and you moved AR below the subfields, the AR character initialization of blanks would "win" and you would have the problem you're having now. With AR first, the numeric subfields win and they get initialized to numeric. But AR is numeric because of the E spec, even though it looks like it's alpha in the DS. So, since all the subfields are numeric, it doesn't matter whether AR is first or last. (I would code the 0 decimal positions on the AR array to make it clearer that AR is numeric.)
