What I have, partially is:

eval bc = %char(105) + %char(12)

The bc field is defined as character.

When I looked at the bc variable in debug, it showed 10512

Assuming you mean the 5-character string '10512', this is completely expected.

Is debug "helping" me like Windows usually does?

What do you mean by this? Could you elaborate? What would you expect
in Windows? What value did you want or expect bc to have?
