Right, but wrong.
The second parm is supposed to be the length of the command string passed in
parameter 1, not the length of the variable passed in parameter 1.

Barbara,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely you can use:
C Eval MyCmd = 'DSPFD FILE(XYXYXYZ) ' +
C 'OUTPUT(*PRINT)'
C CallP(E) QCMDEXC(MyCmd:%Len(MyCmd))
whether or not you specify Varying. The second parameter to QCMDEXC defines
the length of the first *parameter*, not the length of the *data* in that
parameter - QCMDEXC will ignore any trailing spaces in the first parameter.
I remarked on this a while back, when pointing out that people were adding
totally unnecessary %trim's in their code...

And if you define MyCmd as VARYING, you can simplify further by
eliminating the %trim:
C Eval MyCmd = 'DSPFD FILE(XYXYXYZ) ' +
C 'OUTPUT(*PRINT)'
C CallP(E) QCMDEXC(MyCmd:%Len(MyCmd))
