This is friggin' weird...

I'm having a strange problem, and surely you guys can see what it is that I'm not seeing:

WO11C (CLP):
dcl &parms *char 39
display prompt screen, get various parms
combine parms into var &PARMS
call WO11JQ0 PARM(&PARMS)

WO11JQ0 (CLP):
dcl &parms *char 39
call WO11BWFR2 parm(&parms)

WO11BWFR2 (SQLRPGLE):
fqsysprt   o    f   80        printer                          
c     *entry        plist                                      
c                   parm                    parms            39
c                   except    exc01                            
c                   eval      *inlr = *on                      
oqsysprt   e            exc01                                  
o                                              '>'              
o                       parms                                  
o                                              '<'              


Let's suppose that the combined value of &parms in WO11C is "300000YLAAPY0620012                    "   (that's 20 blank trailing spaces)

Now, here's the weird stuff:
If I run WO11C like you see, WO11BWFR gets this for variable parms: "300000YLAAPY0620012                    "

If I change the call to a SBMJOB:
SMBJOB CMD(CALL PGM(WO11JQ0) PARM(&PARMS))
BO11BWFR gets this for parms: "300000YLAAPY0620012              CALLf "   (that's 14 blanks before CALLf, 1 after)

If I change the SBMJOB to this:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(WO11JQ0) PARM('300000YLAAPY0620012                    '))
WO11BWFR gets the parm correctly.

What am I overlooking?
