You shouldn't have this problem calling from a CL program to another CL
program.   However, if you do a SBMJOB from a CL program to call another
CL program, you'll run into this error again.  Maybe thats what you're
thinking of?

The reason for this is simple... When you create a new job, it can no
longer access the memory from the original job.  So it creates a new 
"command-line" to start up the program in the new job.   The proper
fix, as you already pointed out, is to create a command.
