        Well ... if you must know, there are two reasons:

1. That's a kind of solution which most of first year college students
could come up with. I'm looking for something nicer and more AS/400
specific; I still believe, there have to be some beauty in anything one
does. 

2. That will force me to change all main programs also (to adjust number
and types of parameters, if I put it in the first position), or it would
force me to receive all parameters in validation programs (if I place it
in the last position), which would further lead to more than one
validation program (not all comands have same number of parameters, and I
validate only first two) ........ I don't wont to confuse other
developers; they already have enough troubles with me because of 1. :)))))

huh...?

Take care,
Vanya
