This issue was that the quad quotes should be counted as only 1 byte
So, the length of below command is 156 (the string between the double-quotes)
CALL ISUP03/QSYS2/QCMDEXC(''CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(FLZ) PASSWORD(*USRPRF) PWDEXP(*YES) USRCLS(*PGMR) TEXT(''''fla'''')
GRPPRF(*NONE) OWNER(*USRPRF) SUPGRPPRF(*NONE) SPCAUT(*ALLOBJ *JOBCTL *SPLCTL)'',156)
Always easy!

This issue can be tested directly in QCMD
Somehow the length of the string is calculated wrong Removing the ,170 and it creates the user profile correctly The length *must* be passed as earlier OS releases require the length to be present on the QCMDEXC program
RUNSQL SQL('CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC(''CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(FLZ) PASSWORD(*USRPRF) PWDEXP(*YES) USRCLS(*PGMR ) TEXT(''''fla'''') GRPPRF(*NONE) OWNER(*USRPRF) SUPGRPPRF(*NONE) SPCAUT(*ALLOBJ *JOBCTL *SPLCTL)'',170)') COMMIT(*NONE) NAMING(*SYS) OPTION(*LIST)

If that may help, it looks like the command length is wrong and the string null gets read
