Re: SBMJOB is trimming the tailing blanks

To me, this problem has been one of the dumbest things that IBM has

What we have is a "work-around".

Thanks for the info.  I was not aware of this rule.  Sure makes the CL
program look strange.  I decided to use RQSDTA.

This non-blank end character doesn't have to be visible to the receiving
program.  If you are using all 510 bytes, put them in the first 510
bytes of a 511 byte field.  Put a non-blank character into the 511th
byte.  Use the 511 byte field on the SBMJOB.  You don't need to change
the batch program at all.
