*not* a bug. This is expected behavior when you you pass a value shorter
than the defined parameter length [when the parameter is defined as having
length > 32].

I had to laugh at this discussion. Just this morning I got bit by the 32
character >>> bug <<< when testing something from a command line. Once I
dumped the CL, the problem/resolution pretty much jumped off the screen.
Passed 33 chars to a 35 long parm and ended up with two nulls that some
vendor software did not like.
It's been years since I ran across this but funny that, after resolving my
issue, I logon and see this whole thread.
