It was fine in the passing program but in the called program the trailing blanks turned into nulls. It was the last parm in the list. So, I added an extra parm at the end of the list in the calling program. I just added ‘ ‘ (a blank) . It worked perfectly. There is something about the last parameter that can be a problem.

Glad I was able to help. It is odd though that it works on one machine and not the other. Wish I could help you figure that out. My only thought there would be to check release and ptf levels.

Using your idea, I made sure the spaces were filled in using a “PADDING” function in my front end language.

Thanks for your help!

That’s the confusing part. I don’t actually trim any of the trailing blanks as I’m passing it to the CL program.

Inside of the CL program i use TCAT and BCAT to strip off the blanks as needed…

Thanks for the suggestion though!
