I have a CL program that calls GRTOBJAUT, passing a variable in the USER parameter.

If I format the variable I'm passing as CHAR(175) passing up to 16 user profiles, space-delimited (the way I would enter it on a command line, e.g., "FOO BAR BAZ ABCDEFGHIJ CORGE"), then it rejects it, taking "FOO BAR BA" as a single list entry.

If I format the variable I'm passing as CHAR(160) passing up to 16 user profiles aligned on 10-byte boundaries, it STILL rejects it.

What does it want?!?

HELLLLLPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEE!
