code a switch (it wont be large)

call (QCLRPGMI) API with format pgmI0100 check the program you want for min max parms and then call &Varnam depending on max within the switch, it shouldn't be messy really just copy and paste.

Or am I missing the deal?

Hi Chuck,

I am obviously unaware of the details... But IMO a more obvious
resolution to avoid any logic in the CALLER, would be to code the CALLEE
to accept the additional two parameters regardless they are unused.

It is not possible in my case. I have 1 caller and more than 3000 of callee-s
Caller let say have "all information", and "callees" accepting only what they want.
And of course all of that is dynamic, so I don't know who I will call next.
To rewrite 3000+ COBOL programs could require a good budget :-)

Thanks,
Sergey
