Re: RE: Numeric parameters between RPG progr

[David Morris <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

Since you asked.  How about allowing variable typed parameters with full 
support from operational descriptors?  Allowing this would make it much easier 
to create reusable code.

Thanks,

David Morris

 2) The fact that the parameter is passed by reference makes it easier, if
anything to achieve data independence.  What could be better than only passing
the starting address of the parameter?  That way it can be any length any
type.
