Re: Variable (big) number of parameters RPG

I have an application where I pass a data structure, which has something like 50 elements of an array and a few other fields ... the application is a specialized program to get some information on an Item in which it is not known how much information will be retrieved. Many different programs can call the same search sub-program. When writing it (in RPG/400) I did run into a constraint on the sheer size of the data structure. The receiving program loops thru the array to determine what the pointer will be, because the tail end entries are blank, or the inside program can also pass count of how many whatever it found. 



Hi,
Is it possible in RPGLE to manage parameters like a array of pointers (like in C)? 
I need to develop a routine which receive a variable number of parameters like
P(s1,s2,s3 ... s100) and have to make same operation with each of them.
Can not pass one parameter as array (different length).
