Find number of parms for a CL or passall

David,

Write a little RPG program that declares lots of parms. Copy the command
to your work library and change the command processing program to your
program. In the RPG, you can get the number of parms passed from the
program status data structure. There's no way to tell the types and
lengths though. For that, you can declare each parm with a character
length of 50 or so and dump the program. With a little creative paramter
value tinkering, you should be able to tell what's where.
