Yup, this is working as designed...  The extra byte approach works, but it's 
ugly and hard to deal with at 3am....  The CMD object eliminates the problem 
completely...

Subject: Odd problem with SBMJOB from CLLE pgm


I have a CLLE program that has a variable of 150 char.
This is passed to / from an RPGLE program that it calls.
The program then passes this on a SBMJOB command to a batch program.
I verified that the variable *did* have the full length allocated, with blanks 
at the end.
I know that if I use a constant, and the length of the parm expected is > 32 I 
need to fill the rest with blanks, but using a CL Variable declared with the 
correct length, the SBMJOB command truncates the value by trimming trailing 
blanks when passing it to the batch. I determined this by checking the job log 
for the batch job to see the values being passed.
I have a work around for this by creating another variable with 151 bytes and 
placing an "*" in pos 151, then using that on the SBMJOB.
Is this normal?

Thanks,
