Add a simple CL module to your program to run SBMJOB with automatic
formatting of the PARM data. Here's some code to illustrate:

pgm

/* Example struct and fields in place of structure passed from caller */
dcl &f1 *char 2 value( x'0008' )
dcl &f2 *char 12 value( 'abcd1234' )
dcl &f3 *char 12 value( x'000000041F' )

dcl &struct *char 80

dcl &parm *char 81

chgvar &struct ( &f1 *cat &f2 *cat &f3 )

/* CL trims trailing blanks from PARM data */
chgvar &parm ( &struct *cat '.' )

sbmjob job(nojob) cmd(call nolib/nopgm parm( &parm ))

endpgm
