Unfortunately, I'm the person responsible!

The declared length is 20. It's varying so I presume it's really 22. The passed in parameter is actually defined as 20.

Yes.

I'm presuming it's something I've done with the way I've written the CALLPRC command in the CL.
Or have I just done something stupid?

Yes.

Any clues would be gratefully accepted.

CL doesn't have any concept of *VARYING character strings. You'll have to build a proper string yourself. A *VARYING character string is prefixed with a 2-byte length thus you'll have to set the length into those bytes before you call the procedure. Declare the field as 22 bytes and use %BIN to set the length in the first two bytes.

I question why this field is *VARYING. It's only 20 bytes. Just make it fixed length and trim if needed.

Simon Coulter.
