Yes, in most case, those parms are not passed.  If they are passed in,
they will probably be only 10 characters long.  As indicated in the
previous email that these parms will then pass to another procedure and
they are required parms in this procedure.  Below is what I end up doing
(ok, go ahead and tell me I'm wasting my time):

       p example         B                   export
       d                 pi            10i 0 opdesc
       d  piParm1                   32767    const
       d
options(*varsize:*nopass:*omit)
       d  piParm2                   32767    const
       d
options(*varsize:*nopass:*omit)
 
       d  myParm1        s                   like(piParm1)
       d                                     based(myParm1_p)
         d  myParm1Len     s             10i 0 
        /free

         if (%parms >= 1 and %Addr(piParm1) <> *Null);
           CEEDOD(1 :myOD.dscTyp :myOD.DataTyp
               :myOD.dscInf1 :myOD.dscInf2 :myParm1Len :*omit);
           myParm1_p = %alloc(myParm1Len);
           myParm1 = %subst(piParm1 :1 :myParm1Len);
         else;
           myParm1_p = %alloc(1);
           %subst(myParm1 :1 :1) = ' ';
             myParm1Len = 1;    
         endif;        

           . . . .

Yes, copying 32,767 is a lot to copy, but given your "const" keyword
there's nothing more you can do. You can use an %addr(piParm1) in an IF
expression but not in an EVAL.

Given the *varsize option I have to ask: Are you always passing that
much data to your procecdure? I would think that most of the time you
would be passing much smaller values.
