Re[2]: 2 errs

     Think of it this way: 
     
     Program QCMDEXEC executes a command string. In order to execute, 
     you need to give it a formatted command. Because command strings 
     can be of varying length, you also need to tell QCMDEXEC the size 
     of the variable that holds the formatted command string. Thus, the 
     two parms. Per your example (below), CMD is defined as 80 bytes. 
     The LENGTH parm is supplied a default value of 80 on the PARM 
     opcode to match the length of the variable CMD. To use this, you 
     just need to load your command to be executed into CMD and issue 
     the CALL/PARM code.
