I found an example of doing a bit differently but getting closer.
Add varibles
Dcl-S DecodedTextVarBinary sqltype(VARBINARY:4096);
Dcl-S DecodedLabel VARCHAR(4096) CCSID(1208);
And change code to do
// Decode the encoded text into an EBCDIC VarBinary field
Exec SQL Values QSYS2.BASE64_DECODE(:Base64String) Into :DecodedTextVarBinary;
// Translate binary data in EBCDIC to UTF-8
DecodedLabel = DecodedTextVarBinary;
DecodedLabel
[cid:image002.png@01DA4948.23D733F0]
Why the second step? I have so much to learn.

Here is the pgm stripped down but getting same results.
I am trying different methods with QSys2.Base64Decode and systools.base64decode.
I get all @ returned.

Jerry,
I don't know how to help you with this. I feel that your original message is not technical enough for me to delve into it.
Can you provide a code example with hard-coded values that show what is provided on input, and lets me run it to see what you are getting on output, along with an explanation of what you are expecting to be different?

Is anyone actually using the base64decode from RPG and it's working?
Honestly the IBM doc is no help and my other research isn't bring up anything of a working example.
