Re: Quoted text when invoking program call via QSYS2.QCMDEXC?

I think Paul is correct; the copy of QSYS/QCMDEXC is the original and still has that requirement.
But somehow, when IBM defined it as an SQL stored procedure, there is another layer of software that takes care of that before invoking the "real" QCMDEXC ...?
I think you can only invoke it that way (with just one parameter) from e.g. SQLRPGLE (embedded SQL) ...?

QCMDEXC needS a second 'length' parameter...

CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC('CALL PGM(XYZ) PARM(''ABCDEF'')' 28)

I think you'd only need double-quotes around the PARM if you wanted to
include upper and lower case, or if your parm has 6 characters, and you
only wanted to pass 4+2 blanks.

That requirement was removed a few releases ago (I think).

As it happens, I was specifying a length... I just removed it for
simplicity.
