Re: SBMJOB is trimming the tailing blanks

Hi Vern -
It doesn't actually trim at the last non-blank. If you gave it all 510 characters with blanks out to the end, it should work, if I remember this correctly. What the KB says is, if the parameter is longer than 32, the system does not pad out to the length of the parameter when coming from a command line or equivalent. So you get whatever is in memory beyond the last character you passed (even a blank). To verify this, you will need to view parameters in hexadecimal in STRDBG. To do this, on the debug command line type
What you are describing is the behaviour of command line CALLs and CL CALLs with a character constant.
SBMJOB with a CALL in the CMD parameter has the *additional* behavior of stripping trailing blanks.
