In your example, the 2nd workflow called "varchar", you need to check it out and add workflow inputs to that workflow in ther workflow properties.  Here is an example of a subworkflow (child workflow) we are using and the inputs on it:

Then, we you open the child workflow inside the parent workflow, it will look like this:

In the above screenshot you can see how to pass variables to the child workflow.  You use scratchpad variables.

So in your parent workflow, you would have a run script that has something like this in it:

workflow.scratchpad.userid = current.text1 //this will set the text 1 field data to a scratchpad variable, which you can then pass to the child workflow inputs
