ESQL/C, COBOL and CHAR

Hello, we have a little problem to send COBOL-Structures with compressed digits to IDS via ESQL/C. Here is an Example: COBOL: 01 MY-RECORD. 05 FIELD1 PIC XX. 05 FIELD2 PIC 999999 COMP-3. Values of FIELD1: "AB" Values of FIELD2: 121171 HEX Value of MY-RECORD: 41 42 00 12 11 71 If we try to send MY-RECORD to a field like CHAR(10) via ESQL/C, MY-RECORD will truncated after FIELD1. If we send MY-RECORD to ORACLE CHAR(10), the whole record will be saved. Any suggestions, for that?
