RE: AS400 equivalent to TYPRUN=SCAN?

Mike,

The fact that CL is compiled achieves sort of the same thing. The compiler will 
catch some stupid things.

If you call everything through a *CMD rather than calling *PGMs directly, it 
can do a better job of checking the parameters.

subject: AS400 equivalent to TYPRUN=SCAN?

When I was a batch MVS programmer in a past life, we could run jobs with
TYPRUN=SCAN to check syntax. It was somewhat limited, but prevented some
stupid things. 
Is there an equivalent (or better) on the 400? Specifically, I'm looking at
programs called with an incorrect # of parms or missing executable object
program. It's becoming a bad habit around here lately.
