RE: Parameters Stepping on each other

Well, looks like I need to eat crow here. The proof is below. 

If it was the CL runtime that was trimming the strings this code would
not work because if the MacroChar and MacroType were being trimmed by
the CL Runtime, you would get 'Value' instead of 'Value   '.

What this says it that the command validator is trimming the strings. 

The CL runtime evaluates the variable and passes the string to the
command validator which reformats it according to it's rules. This code
below proves that the CL runtime passes the full length to the command
validator. 

DCL        VAR(&QUOTE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('''')   

STRQMQRY   QMQRY(XV0010_QM1) OUTPUT(*PRINT) QMFORM(XV0010_QM1)
SETVAR((MACRONUM (&QUOTE || +  
                 &MACROCHAR || &QUOTE)) (MACROTYPE (&QUOTE || &MACROTYPE
|| &QUOTE)))            

Well, live and learn.
