Re: CALL QP2SHELL variables

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right...   When you pass a literal to a C program, it automatically adds 
a null (x'00') to the end.  But, when you pass a variable, you need to 
put the null in the variable yourself.

So from the command-line, where you can't have variables, your data is 
in a literal and therefore gets the automatic x'00'.  From your program, 
&CALL# was a variable and so wasn't null terminated.
