it doesn't really make sense, but it does explain why I get 25 for the
19-char long parameter...

Re: Strange issue with CMD parameter length
Peter,
Take a look at the INLPMTLEN (initial prompt length) parameter of the
PARM command. You'll note that the possible values for the initial
prompt length are as follows:
The default value is *CALC which means that the length will be
calculated -- that is, the closest length that's the same or higher than
the field size will be used.
Since the possible lengths are 1-12, 17, 25, 32 (and so forth) the
length for an 18 character field will be 25. (17 would be too small,
and the next highest number is 25.)
Make sense?
