Not sure why you'd want to use C for this -- other than that it has the
capability of checking the value of a pointer.  But, so do many other
languages.

That should work. (that's the same thing you would've done in C)  Though,
I wonder why you don't do the whole thing in RPG?  why do you need CL?

Or, alternately, you should be able to do the whole thing in ILE CL with the
CEETSTA API. The jump from original CL to ILE CL isn't a big one -- the
language syntax is identical, except that you now have the CALLPRC
command, and you have to compile it with the CRTBNDCL command.

The following program is a pure CL variant of the code that you posted
using the CEETSTA API to see if the parms were passed:

/* This should be source member type CLLE (not CLP!) */
/* compile with PDM opt 14 or CRTBNDCL */

PGM PARM(&P1 &P2 &P3)


DCL &P1 *CHAR 25
DCL &P2 *CHAR 25
DCL &P3 *CHAR 25
DCL &B1 *CHAR 4
DCL &B2 *CHAR 4
DCL &B3 *CHAR 4
DCL &PARMNO *CHAR 4

    CHGVAR VAR(%BIN(&PARMNO)) VALUE(1)
    CALLPRC    PRC(CEETSTA) PARM(&B1 &PARMNO)

    CHGVAR VAR(%BIN(&PARMNO)) VALUE(2)
    CALLPRC    PRC(CEETSTA) PARM(&B2 &PARMNO)

    CHGVAR VAR(%BIN(&PARMNO)) VALUE(3)
    CALLPRC    PRC(CEETSTA) PARM(&B3 &PARMNO)


    IF         COND(%BIN(&B1) *EQ 1) THEN(CHGVAR VAR(&P1) +
                 VALUE('PARM1'))

    IF         COND(%BIN(&B2) *EQ 1) THEN(CHGVAR VAR(&P2) +
                 VALUE('PARM2'))

    IF         COND(%BIN(&B3) *EQ 1) THEN(CHGVAR VAR(&P3) +
                 VALUE('PARM3'))

RETURN


ENDPGM
