RE: Binary vs. Integer Parameters

I thought these were available on the system somewhere already.  I know our
shop hasn't installed them, but I know I've heard people speak of them.  The
only problem is the variable names are IBM, so if it's something like file
name, the variable will be similar to QFJFLANAME.. ;)

What we do is simply only code the variables we want to use using FROM and
TO posistions, and name them whatever we want... like "FileName".  I think
it's easier in the long run.
