As I was reading the wiki, I actually thought about the workaround you

going to create a command to handle this.

Just to add to Buck explanation, a workaround I like to use is to
concatenate an 'X' to the end of the character field, so you submit with a
3001 character field, with an 'X' in the 3001 position, but the receiving
program either discards or doesn't even know about position 3001.
