RE: I Give Up - CLP Question...

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about that, as it looked to be a case
of one field "overlaying" to some extant, another.

I stuck a * in the last position of the TEXT variable and it shows in the
last position of the profile description.

I guess what confuses me, among other things :-), is the profile name I am
testing with is less than the total of 10 and it is OK. Ditto for the Group
Profile and Password fields. So why aren't they having this issue ?

Thanks !

Chuck

The issue is that you haven't built a "string" of your command to be
submitted.  Likely the command processor is only sending the lengths of the
actual values to the submitted job, rather than the total _possible_ length
of each variable.  I'd bet that if you put a single character (say, *) at
the end of the TEXT variable this would do exactly what you're expecting.
