Is that ok to move

Like rpg code -> CharacterField = %trim(Wrk_Image_Data);

Moving BLOB data around with char fields is dangerous, because you may
have different CCSIDs.

But it shouldn’t be a problem to pass Wrk_Image_Data directly to the API
as it is in fact a char subfield of the Wrk_Image data structure that is
created for the BLOB type.

You also already have to size of the BLOB data in Wrk_Image_Len (AFAIK in
octets/bytes).

HTH - and please show off your code when done, so others can find the
solution in the mailing list archive.

Kind regards,
