Re: Adding to list in cl-program

You have two problems:

Firstly because the variable &SUPGRPPRF has embedded blanks the operating
system will automatically put quotes around it when you try and use it.
Secondly, there is a flaw in your technique anyway, in that the SUPGRPPRF is
returned as a 150 character string, with the first 10 characters representing
the first group, and the second ten the second group etc. Therefore, there is
no guarantee that there is going to be a blank between each supplemental group,
other than any standards you may have in place that doesn't allow a profile to
be 10 characters long. The easiest method is going to be to use QCMDEXC, and
build up your command string with a mixture of *BCAT, *CAT and %SST, ie CHGVAR
&CMD ('CHGUSRPRF xxxx SUPGRPPRF('  *CAT %SST(&SUPGRPPRF 1 10) *BCAT
%SST(&SUPGRPPRF(11 10).....etc
