Re: Is hex 00000 in a string field equal to null?

Use RQSDTA instead of CMD on SBMJOB? I believe the S/38 didn't have CMD,
only RQSDTA. But the closest I got to S/38 was "S/38 Fundamentals" and
geezer talk on this list.

Newer option was to use a command instead of using CALL in SBMJOB's CMD
parameter.

Yep, the information I see is classic problem. Just have to figure out a
fix.

I think you mean 32-character, and the only problem there is that if you
call a program with parms longer than 32 characters from a command line
and don't pass all the data, the part after 32 characters gets random
garbage (not blanks). Typically this doesn't affect anyone, but it does
cause a problem when you try to format a string to call either from
QCMDEXC or from a SBMJOB.

Thanks! The bug showed up again today, so I tried the replace. It

worked

perfectly! Now to figure out the damn bug. I am sure it has to do with

the

36 character limit on RPG parameters. I'll probably remove the RPG

from

the

picture to see if that resolves it.

REPLACE(field, x'00', ' ')

will do the trick.
