I just tried it here on the CPP of one of my own RTVxxx commands, and it worked
as I expected.

OK, I see what is happening now.  The reason I could call the CPP directly
without an error is that I had used type CLLE instead of CLP.  The ILE  CL
compiler sets the number of program parameters to the range 0 to 255, just like
it does for an RPG program.

If I changed the source type to CLP and recompiled, the compiler sets the number
of parameters to a fixed number, and CPD0172 would result.

You can use DSPPGM to see the number of parameters a program expects.  Just
changing the source type from CLP to CLLE will get the result needed here.
