If you only have 2 keyparm(*yes) parameters, then you should only have 4
parameters in your POP program.  Besides the other changes that Scott
recommended, I think you should remove the iLenStr parameter.  (I'm
guessing you thought the length of the i_String parameter would be
passed in the i_LenStr parameter, but actually the length is in the
first 2 bytes of the i_String parameter which you can either define as a
data structure with a 2-byte integer subfield and a 32765 character
subfield, or better, as 32765 VARYING.)
