See, if you had use prototypes and a CALLP it wouldn't have been a problem.

Thanks everyone - This must be one of those "I'm an idiot" days. I defined
the TEXTMsg160 variable and did the EVAL from the variable field to the
fixed field and then went ahead and typed the name of the variable length
field in the PLIST definition.

The code is ...
C EVAL TEXTMsg160 = '(PCTAlerts) ' +
C %trim(TEXTMsg)
C CALL 'UTJSMSMSG' SndSmsMsg


Yes, if TEXTMsg is 'My message', TEXTMsg160 should be '(PCTAlerts) My
message' (with a bunch of trailing whitespace), as opposed to
'(PCTAlerts) xxMy message', where xx is the length of 'My message' in hex.

However, it's hard to say why your UTJSMSMSG program is not getting the
data you expect without knowing how the SndSmsMsg PLIST is defined.
