SQL Syntax: char to varchar type conversion(s)

Hello,

Can anyone answer this SQL question?

I have a field of type char in one table and wish to insert this 
into a second table (with other fields) but the new field is of
type varchar.  How do I proceed?  The following (test) fails in pgsql.

create table temp1 ( code char(2) );
insert into temp1 values ('AB');
select * from temp1;
create table temp2 ( code1 char(10), code2 varchar(10) );
insert into temp2 (code1,code2) select code,code from temp1;
select * from temp2;
