Re: Passing a parameter to a CLLE program in SBMJOB

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

32 bytes is how many bytes the Cmd Processor will allocate at a minimum
each time, not the maximum length. You can pass a char up to 32,767 or
somewhere in that limit.

The command processor allocates 32 bytes to try to prevent you from walking
into the next piece of memory so for example the processor did not do this.
You pass 5 bytes but try to read 10. You would then get garage from the
next field in memory.
