RE: RE: SBMJOB is trimming the tailing blanks

Hhmmm.  I don't think that is the problem.  

1) Remember that in my CL program I declared the parm field as 510 in
length.  
2) Depending on condition, the last non blank byte in the above parm
field could be at say byte 410. 
3) When #2 happened and CL does the SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGMB(MYPARM)), the
actual command being subbmitted looks like this
CALL PGMB('PARM DATA.....................  .... ....') ==> this ending '
end at 410.

 One major issue, as I understand it, is that parameters are passed to
programs by reference. (Procedures can be a different story, I believe.)
That being the case, how do you know how much memory is to be used at
each pointer that is passed? Certain assumptions have been established -
32 characters for strings, 15,5 packed for numbers.
