I want to make a procedure that operates on strings of (practically)
arbitrary size, so I wrote it to accept a pointer and a 10u 0. I'll call
it like p(%addr(string) : %size(string)).

What I don't understand is how, inside the procedure, to make RPG
understand that the pointer is a string pointer so that I can do %subst
and all the other usual string operations on the argument.
