RE: Length limit on passed parms

My solution to this problem was to place the parameter in an on-the-fly data
area and picking it back up in the called program - worked well then...

I had that problem years ago. I would have thought IBM had fixed that by
now.

My solution then was to convert the blanks to some other character (that
would not normally occur in the data passed) in the sending program and then
to convert those characters back to blanks in the receiving program.

It seemed that this problem would occur whenever sending a char field that
was more than about 20 bytes long.

I'm trying to setup a procedure using passed 50 character parameter, but I
can't get it to work.
I keep getting garbage, as seen here: 'This is a test            NE
1234567890'
>From 'NE' on, it is garbage. Any one have any suggestions, other than making
the parameter smaller?
Thanks in advance
Richard
