I did not have the problem you describe...  I only had one integer, the 
one that contains the parameter length.  Here's the ILE C program I used 
to test:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

    typedef struct varchar128_t {
       int len;
       char value[128];
    } varchar128;

    char buf[129];

    varchar128 *monpath = (varchar128 *)argv[1];
    printf("monpath->len = %d\n", monpath->len);

    memset(buf, '\0', sizeof(buf));
    memcpy(buf, monpath->value, monpath->len);
    printf("monpath->value = %s\n", buf);

    return 0;
}
