Ironic, but I tossed all of my /36 manuals about a month before I applied for my current job. Ironic because we live in the 36 environment here. The only thing I still have (must have overlooked it when I was cleaning up) is the Procedures and Commands summary. I could swear (and often do) that I had a link to an OCL manual. But the closest I can come right now is a S/32 manual at www.bitsavers.org. It doesn't even cover ?R? (that I could find). Maybe the /32 didn't have prompting.

The worst case of substitution and parameter passing I ever saw was an IBM package on the /34. Proc-A might have // INCLUDE PROCB ?1?,?2?,?3? and Proc-B might then have // INCLUDE PROCC ?2?,?1?,?4R? so that by the time you got to PROCC what was parameter 2 is parameter 1 to that procedure, etc. Really ugly and a pain in the arse to debug.

It retrieves it from the screen IF it wasn't passed in. For example, if
your procedure name is DUDE then you could type in
DUDE A,B,D,E
?1? = A, ?2?=B and so on.
