RE: What's the limit on the parameter to pass for a sbmjob

Giri,

I think you have a problem.  Both the CMD and RQSDTA portions of SBMJOB
command have a maximum length of only 3000 characters.  I think you'll need
a different approach.  Do you have to pass the entire trigger buffer, or can
you break it down into smaller chunks?  Data Queue/Server would be the only
real alternative I can think of if the entire buffer must be passed.

Subject: What's the limit on the parameter to pass for a sbmjob


Hello:

I have added a physical file trigger. The function of the trigger program
is:

    1) Build sbmjob command and call qcmdexec to submit the job. In the call
pass the 32K buffer (trigger buffer) as a parm.

Is their a limit on the submjob parm length. Because when I look at the parm
in the called program I don't see all the data which is in the trigger
buffer.

Any ideas?


Thanks
GG
