you could possibly use alternate tabbing (note the exclamation point) in 
your skeleton: 

)TBA 49 
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPROG,REGION=4M,PARM='ZUSER!'

 Anyone,
 
 I'm working with a skeleton that generates an EXEC statement that looks 
like 
 this:
 
 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPROG,REGION=4M,PARM='ZUSER'
 
 I wish to pass the value in ZUSER to MYPROG, but I see that if the TSO 
userid 
 is  8 characters long, the trailing blanks from the ZUSER variable are 
 truncated, and are not being passed to my assembler application. I.e., 
if the 
 userid is USER1, I get a 5-byte parm string instead of an 8-byte 
 parm string 
 padded with blanks (or nulls, or anything).
 
 Is there a way to prevent the truncation, so that my application always 
 receives a full eight-byte value, preferably blank-padded?
 
 Thank you!
 
 David

  I can't remember the whole thing, but I believe that Grace 
  Hopper used to use different rope lengths to show how long, 
  or short various measurements of time were: a nano second vs. 
  a full second.
 
 Hmmm.  A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, so the long rope
 would have to be a billion times longer that the short one.  Given
 that the SI definition of a metre is  approximately one ten-millionth
 the distance from a pole to the equator along a meridian, if the short
 rope was only one millimetre long, the long one would have to be a
 thousand kilometres long.  That would make a pretty big pile of
 rope.

When she did her presentation everybody got a nanosecond (piece of wire 
roughly 11 inches long) then she showed us a microsecond (a coil of wire 
rooughly 1000 feet long it mad an impressive thump when it hit the table).
