Greetings all, and thanks in advance for your (hopefully speedy) assistance...

I am attempting to write a program in VSPASCAL (under CMS) that sends an
EXEC TELL command using CMS ('EXEC....',rc);  By necessity, this TELL command
must contain an address in the format XXXX@XXXXXXX.  However, for some reason,
the actual command reduces the address to only the first 8 characters.  For
example (V4078@Templevm) is reduced to (V4078@TE).  Strangely, if the userid
before the @ is eight characters long, it doesn't truncate...

I checked the userid before it is sent to the cms function, and the command,
and both appear correct on their screen, therefore I am assumin that it has
something to do with the CMS function.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Does anyone have any ideas how to fix?
Please?  E-Mail me privately if you are on PASCAL-L, I don't belong.  IBM-MAIN
people can reply either way...
