How can I tell what parameters are required by a program?

I dare say some genius could reverse engineer the program object to work it
out but it wouldn't be trivial I suspect.  There is already an API to
retrieve what little information is stored about parameters when you used
the "described" option in ILE (can't recall the name I'm afraid).  It's
fundamentally useless anyway because Rochester only support descriptors for
a very small subset of the number of different data types that can be
passed as parms.  Without descriptors, the only thing that is known is the
number of parms expected.

You need to ask for full descriptor support - then the tool you need would
be trivial.

Bruce Vining are you an the boys and girls down there planning on making
any changes in this area?
