DB2OLEDB v5 and SQL Server 2016 - linked-server

Question

I connect to an AS400 database using DB2OLEDB v5 as a linked server from SQL Server 2016--but Binary to Character will not translate. All binary fields on the AS400 database are returned as hex on the SQL Server. Has anyone had success using this type of linked server from SQL Server 2016? The provider string below is the same one I used successfully on SQL Server 2012. I really appreciate any help that can be provided. Here is my Provider string:
exec master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver #server = N'JDE'
, #srvproduct = N'DB2OLEDB'
, #provider = N'DB2OLEDB'
, #datasrc = N'192.168.x.x'
, #provstr = N'Provider=DB2OLEDB;

, #catalog = N'S06822B5'
/* For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */
and
exec master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin #rmtsrvname = N'JDE'
, #useself = N'False'
, #locallogin = null
, #rmtuser = N'connect'
, #rmtpassword = '########'

Suggestion: for correct connection string and SQL server version use DB2OLEDBV6_x64.msi which part of SQL SERVER 2016 SP2 Feature Pack
