RE: Converting VARCHAR fields

Hi,
      OK, I must still be missing something. I have tried all the
suggestions and my output file still shows the field as  *01138. This is my
new code:

H OPTION(*NODEBUGIO: *SRCSTMT)
D InEmp              S             25A   Varying
D WkEmp           S             25
D String          DS
D  Length                              5I 0
D  Data                             255
C                   EVAL      Data = InEmp
C                   EVAL      WkEmp = Data

Not using the DS doesn't seem to work either. I had
C                   EVAL      WkEmp = InEmp

Both ways, I still have unprintable characters at the beginning of the
field. From all I have read, this should be a no brainer.
I am calling this from SQL and the program has been made into a stored
procedure. This is the call statement:
CALL V64BPCSUSR/SVLBRNEW (246065, 10, X'0005F0F1F1F3F8')

I don't know if that is what is causing the problem or not. What am I doing
wrong?
