Reading IFS bin file into an RPG variable

I have this code snippet:

<code>

       @temp = %addr(temp);
       nbyte = %size(temp);
       fd = open(%trim(pr_path):O_RDONLY);
       if fd < 0;
         pr_status = %char(errno);
         EscErrno(errno);
       endif;

       // read the file into a var
       i = read(fd:@temp:nbyte);
       if i < 0;
         pr_status = %char(errno);
         EscErrno(errno);
       endif;

</code>

If I do a wrklnk on  an IFS file, I see this:

GIF89a    ÷     ÿÿÿðíîGFG...

But in debug, my temp variable contains this:

åñã  /    7        0ÒÓåãå      x¿ÝzÞ^xÐÞ   ~xzwÝ(r)       (í ...

Not nearly the same.

What am I missing? If is a codepage issue?
