Since the result field is a Char(17)... I would try the %CHAR() bif to
convert the VarChar to Char.

Subject: VarChar to Char Field, Shouldn't This Work?
I have a RPG field defined as VarChar(17) and a file field defined as
Char(17). I thought I could do an eval on the two and it would work.
EDI850_Detail_Out.UnitPrice = EDI850_PO1_Record.UnitPrice
In the above, PO1 is the varchar field. I am getting the following error:
"Length of varying length variable is out of range."
Am I forgetting something? My head has been stuck in the .NET world a bit
too long me thinks....
