You're right.  Whatever you code first on your CALL will match the first
parameter, so be first in the parm offsets.

Oops, I forgot to think about that part of your question.  But Tom Liotta
has posted the answer a couple of posts after yours, that the storage for
the
parameters may be in a completely different space from the program
variables.
For a command-line call, the parameters are probably in automatic or maybe
heap storage, not PSSA storage like the local program variables.
