I am not sure if this is the same problem or not, but when we are passing
parms between a CL and an rpg, we typically pass them as char so as to
avoid the garbled data issue, and then convert them back. A little extra
work on the rpg side but less hassle in the long run.

It's the same misunderstanding of how CALL/PARM works. That is, it is a
problem in the way we choose to write code, not the way the machine
executes it.
