Stu,

I had compiled the same program to both 5.2 and 4.5. It worked
fine on 5.2 and failed on 4.5. Using the CEETSTA works great on 4.5.

All,

For what it's worth, I always do this for my optional parms declared as *
const* and it works like a charm (v5r4 and v5r3 prior to that):

if %parms > *zero and %addr( parm ) <> *null;
...
endif;

You cannot assign the %addr() to a variable, nor can you base anything on
that %addr() (unless you fool the compiler), but you should be able to use
it as a temporary value in an expression.

Yes, it ran fine @ 5.2.

OK, I just checked V5R2 using this URL:

Nothing in there about this. The closest there is (which is also in
the
V5R3
manual) is this:

"If the variable is specified as a PARM of the *ENTRY PLIST, %ADDR
returns
the address passed to the program by the caller."

It compiled, but did it run?

Could be :) I won't even check to the V5R2 manual online, because
it
uses a
Java applet which takes an *age* to load.

Rory,

That's interesting, because I was able to compile it (in free
format) at v5r2. Could it have been an undocumented feature then?
