I think it's more accurate to say "?20? means to substitute the value from parameter 20 here". And where you see the doubled question marks, it simply means that substitution is done twice -- nested substitution. We used this back in S/34 OCL to code an 'addition' procedure once because S/34 OCL didn't have anything like "?20? + 3". Stupid, of course, because it was much faster just to call an RPG pgm to do the addition; but what the heck... it made a fascinating piece of totally undecipherable code.
