Josh,

What ARE you trying to do? Submit a job or call a program or what? On a
straight call, people use packed data as parameters all the time - no
problem. SBMJOB is where you run into problems. And someone already
posted the FAQ on that. Read that - it is golden. I STRONGLY suggest the
command interface as a solution. At one time someone documented a
technique to take a CLP source member, and by some strategic copying and
pasting copy and convert it to a CMD member.
I forget who this genius was but here's the link:
