Do you mean maximum number of parameters?

Parameters (PARM) - Help

Specifies one or more parameter values that are passed to
the called program. A maximum of 40 parameter values can
be passed.


Or maximum size for each parameter?

Depending on which OS release you are using CL can accept a
character
parameter with a maximum size of 32767 bytes.

Other than that you are limited by the size of the command
line. Most
command lines give you somewhere between 70 (ish) and 200
(ish) bytes
for the entire command. CALL QCMD then F11 will give you
between 1900
(ish) and 3500 (ish bytes.

What is your real question?

Simon Coulter.
