It is just one =.
My app (and I tested with Scott Klements too) ends like this:

WJrNzV=

Interesting. V= is invalid. V is #21, which is not legal. When the string ends with a =, the last two bits of the 3rd byte must be zero, which means the number has to be a multiple of 4. Since 21 isn't a multiple of 4, something is wrong.

I'm trying to reproduce the problem. Here's the code I've written to do that:

H DFTACTGRP(*NO) BNDDIR('MAIN')
/copy BASE64_H
D Input s 6a
D Output s 8a

/free

input = x'61626b3735';
Output = *blanks;

base64_encode( %addr(Input)
: %len(%trimr(Input))
: %addr(Output)
: %size(Output) );

dsply Output;
*inlr = *on;

/end-free

When I run this, however, I get the following:

DSPLY YWJrNzU=

So I'm unable to reproduce the problem. What value shall I feed into my encoder to end up with V=?
