Re: CL program parameters being corrupted

hi,

if i remember correctly a parameter alpha is cut by 32 car, if the cl expect
one of 50 car and you send only 35 car (between quotes), the system use
space from 36 to 50 so you can get some special caracter in it.

You can try this by calling with blank :

    CALL PGM ('*DEFAULT
' 'AAAAA')
