Actually, do both.  It looks like your command should be at least 600
characters long; make it 1000, it won't hurt anything.  Second, add the
VARYING keyword to the EMAILBODY and EMAILSUBJ fields.  This will
automatically truncate any unused space.  Also, from what I can tell, your
EMAILBODY is well over 245 characters.  I'd make that one 500 (but VARYING).

I also agree with Bob that you can't pass a VARYING field to QCMDEXC.  I'd
take the VARYING off of AS400CMD (but make the field 1000 long).  That will
probably do what you need.
