Not sure which is more evil - RQSDTA does not strip trailing blanks.

I wouldn't quite say that it doesn't strip trailing blanks. I'd more likely say that the programmer doesn't strip trailing blanks. When the request string is created, the programmer makes choices such as *CAT versus *BCAT when manipulating variable values.

You can definitely still mess things up. The only point I want to make is that RQSDTA() allows you to make the request string be exactly what you want for the CALL command.

The CMD() can make additional choices after you give it control. Understanding the choices made within CMD() lets you take advantage of RQSDTA().

BTW, no one was more appreciative of CMD() when it appeared than I was.
