Is there any way to keep a CL program from failing if too few parameters are passed like you can in RPG by detecting the number of parameters with %parms() and then not referencing the missing parameter(s) if they were not passed? I have a CL program that is called from about 50 other applications and I need to add a new parameter for just one new function to be used currently in one application.
