  output with /VX parameter

Problem conclusion

• Prevent crash in GTXA12 csect GCPVB when creating a VB output
  using a 2 character or more, /VX parameter. The save area would
  be corrupted making it difficult to determine the crash
  location. There was a boundary condition during output file
  creation, when the output workfile last read only had the last
  delimiter character value properly without throwing invalid
  command line error.
