What do you mean by this?

The API definition says this about the second parameter:

"The maximum length being passed. If the command string is passed as a
quoted string, the command length is exactly the length of the quoted
string. If the command string is passed in a variable, the command length is
the length of the variable. It is not necessary to reduce the command length
to the actual length of the command string in the variable, although it is
permissible to do so."

So it *is* the length of the variable, and there's no need to trim trailing
blanks.
