 Truncating parameters!
CLP, parameter values, Variables
I haev a 6 position alpha variable that has a value of '12345 ' (a trailing blank). When I submit a job that does a CALL to a pgm with that variable as a parm, the submitted job has the value of that parm as '12345' with no trailing blank. Both pgms declare the variable as 6 *CHAR. I know there are issues with parms over 32 positions, but this is just 6! Can someone help? THANKS! Jeff

SORRY! It turns out that my code following it was wrong. I was using SEQUEL (by HELP SYSTEMS) and didn’t realize that I needed double quotes around my character string. Thanks!
