It's Monday morning and the brain hasn't warmed up yet. Any help would be
appreciated.

Here is a prototype I've done:

D CAFWTBLEML pr
D TrRptId 10a const
D TrRptDes 50a const
D TrDlyMth 1a const
D TrFile 1000a const

If I call this from the command line using:
===> call cafwtbleml parm('A' 'B' 'C' '/home/subdirectory/long file name
goes here.csv')

I get some funny results for 2 of the parameters:
1st parameter: fine
2nd parameter: %len(trimr(TrRptDes) = 34, value of TRRPTDES = 'B (32
blanks) C (16 blanks) '
3rd parameter: fine
4th parameter: %len(trimr(TrFile) = 689, value of TrFile = value passed
plus a lot of garbage

Tks,
