321	accounts_overseer_.pl1 (for SA1) should have a larger command buffer and should not execute an incomplete command	David Rosenberg	Eric Swenson	"I stored an exec_com in >user_dir_dir>SysAdmin>admin and tried executing it as SA1.

One of the commands in the exec_com was an enter_abs_request command which had a lot of control arguments and (using the -arguments control argument) passed a lot of arguments to the absentee job. After expansion the command was 284 characters long. The error message 
{{{
accounts_overseer_: Record is too long.
}}}
was produced, but the enter_abs_request command was executed anyway - apparently using only the first 211 characters and ignoring characters after that.

I have two suggestions:
1. accounts_overseer_ should not execute part of a command that was truncated. If the whole command can't be executed, don't execute just part of it.
2. Expand accounts_overseer_'s command buffer to accommodate longer commands. I don't know what size to recommend. I would think at least 1,000 characters, but larger than that might be more appropriate."	enhancement	new	minor		Standard Library			accounts_overseer_, SA1, command buffer
