If you're calling from a command line, there is an FAQ entry for this. The solution is to create a command wrapper for your program.

Subject: Long parameter issue

Hi all,



I try to pass a char parameter of 100 to an RPG program. The problem
is, starting position 34 (if the actual data I'm passing is less than
that) is filled out with garbage. When I try to trim the parameter (in
order to use only what I need it), I cannot do it because of that...

I have a feeling the answer is using a varying type field, but I cannot
make it work...



Any ideas?



Thanks.
