BINGO! That fixed it. Next time I see you I owe ya a Coke!

For anyone else needing the exact details, note USING ALL DESCRIBED
needs to be in the 'Special-Names.' section and defined as a LINKAGE
TYPE (see below)

Special-Names.
LINKAGE TYPE PRC FOR "SUBPROC1" USING ALL DESCRIBED.

Thanks again Scott,

Hi Aaron,

The issue is that COBOL is not passing an operational descriptor... and
the count of the number of parameters is part of the operational
descriptor.

RPG always passes at least part of the opdesc (the part that has the
count in it, to be exact). But other languages (C, COBOL, SQL, Java) do
not pass this part of the opdesc unless they're specifically instructed to.

If you add 'USING ALL DESCRIBED' (IIRC) to the Cobol statement, it'll
make your %PARMS work properly.
