CL program "cuts" a parameter

[EstherN]

Hi,
Can you please help me to understand why it happens :
The RPG program, lets say PGMA, works in batch and calls a CL program, say PGMC .
One of parameters in both programs defined as character 10.
PGMA sends a 10 length parameter which looks like 'AAAAAAAA ' ( 8 A's , 2 blanks ),
but PGMC receives it like 'AAAAAAAA' , 8 A's without 2 blanks .
(It later causes problems in the memory (pointers) in UPDHTMLVAR function and the resulting XML file goes wrong ) .

My question is why is CL program PGMC cuts 2 blanks of the parameter ?
Thanks.

Could you show us some source please?

Code would be good as what you have described seems incomplete at best.

We need to know what the CL parameter actually contains after the 8 A's. The last two bytes have to contain something.

You could add a DMPCLPGM command in your program to see the exact value, including the value in hexadecimal.

Are any of your parameters of the varchar variety?
