INTEGER & VARCHAR() on I-specs

I have a DDL-described PF with these columns:
ID integer
TEXT varchar(40)
...

I'm trying to do I-specs for these but I'm having trouble. DSPFFD shows:
ID buffer length 4 buffer position 1
TEXT buffer length 42 buffer position 5

So I did these I-specs:
I I 1 4 0ID
I A 5 46 TEXT

ID seems fine, but TEXT is acting weird. In debug, TEXT shows a blank space before the value which doesn't go away if I trim the field. That makes me think there's some non-displayable character there. I've never defined an INTEGER or a VARCHAR on an I-spec, so I assume I messed something up.


Any ideas?
