Its been so long since I did this stuff but it come back to haunt me.

I need to call QCMDEXC (cmd:cmdlen) in C-spec form. Can I use a data

Yes, that will work. You can go as high as 9999 with a data structure.

I don't even want to -start- thinking about how you will get the command string into the data structure. Ewwwww.
