See my earlier post about setting the value of LEN.  If you are just 
calling this one command, the easiest thing to do is to count the 
characters in the command In your example,add EVAL LEN=23 prior to 
calling QCMDEXC.  If you are using other commands, set LEN dynamically 
with ' '     CHECKR     @CMD     LEN
