Re: *omit

I too prefer the second option. But I have a 3rd possibility (there is always 
another possibility, int it?)

IF %OMIT(Error)

This would be more consistant with the way other thing are done.

IF        %ADDR(Error) <> *NULL
or
IF        Error <> *OMIT

For passing, or should I say omitting, paramaters on a prototype, which
syntax do you like better?  I must say I like the second, which of course is
not valid.   Can IBM make the compiler smart enough to see the special value
*OMIT and check the address of the variable for *NULL behind the scenes?
What do others on this list say?
