>1)  Why does the second parm have to be defined as 15,5?

Because that's how IBM defined it in the program.  Numeric parameters have
to match between calling and called programs, even when IBM writes them.

>2)  What is the 3rd parm used for?

I must have missed this one, I've never heard of a third parm for QCMDEXC.
Of course, maybe after 15 years I've gotten complacent...

>3)  Which API manual is QCMDEXC documented in?

I think it's in the CL Programming manual.  It was back in the /38 days
(when it was QCAEXEC), and I don't think they've ever moved it.

>Thanks for any info.

You're welcome.
