Using a SBMJOB to call program with parms that exceed 32-characters in size
but less than 32 characters in non-blank data in those fields.

Turns out that if a CL uses SBMJOB to call another program, you can pass
"small" parms without issue. Passing "ABC@xxxxxxx" as an email address in
a 32 character field works. However, passing "ABC@xxxxxxx" in a 50
character fields doesn't work.

The solution is to make it a 51 character and make the last position a
non-blank character. The called program will receive the 51 character parm
and can then strip out the first 50 character for actual processing.

Another solution is to use a *CMD object, and use that on the SBMJOB statement. Think of it like a prototype for use with SBMJOB, QCMDEXC and friends.

And yet another solution is to use an appropriate parameter of SBMJOB. Use RQSDTA() instead of CMD(), or live with the consequences of how CMD() applies defaults.
