There are two ways you can deal with the trailing blanks problem.

1) Define your parameter to be 1 character longer that it needs to be and
then put a non-blank character in that last position.

2) Create a command with a single parameter (your 365 character string) that
calls MYPGM.

See Buck's email for a reference to the archives for more info.

Good luck!
Richard

Thank you all!

although I got another problem now:
When I execute
        stmt.executeUpdate("CALL MYPGM('parm1')";
where
        parm1="xxxxxxxxxx               "
it seems that the trailing spaces are left out at execution_time....

The CL/RPG program receives: "xxxxxxxxxx???????????????"
where ??...?? is 'rubbish' in stead of spaces.
Because the application checks if that part is blank
it goes wrong.

To be complete, the parameter is in fact a bit longer
(first 15 chars are filled, next 350chars are a list
of 10-35char fields which sometimes contain data, sometimes not!
