Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Passing a parameter to a CLLE program in SBMJOB

btw, every time this question comes up ( in over 35 years on the
platform). I steam with contempt for IBM for allowing this to continue.

I nearly got fired 20 years ago, because a feces stirring cow-orker telling
a pointy haired boss about my hokey code on passing email addresses.
my "hokey" code is exactly what IBM shows on:

Just don't use RQSDTA, then you don't have to worry about the differences.
Besides RQSDTA is severely limited if you are wanting to use long strings
or parameters.

CMD string can be 20000 characters.
RQSDTA is limited to 3000 characters.

I agree that using a command is the best way. However, is it different if,
instead of using SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(MYPGM) PARM('parm1')) You do the
following instead: SBMJOB RQSDTA('CALL PGM(MYPGM) PARM(

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(MYPGM) PARM('parm1'))

You do the following instead:

SBMJOB RQSDTA('CALL PGM(MYPGM) PARM(''parm1'')')
