RE: Command list size

I have developed many, many commands, and several of those have MAX( >1 )
parameter types. I have never seen the number-of-entries value return
anything other than a 2-byte integer. In fact the help that one sees when
pressing F1 with the cursor in the MAX field for a PARM command reveals that
the value will be a 2-byte binary. This is at V5R3.

You might try the help on your own system; perhaps this will give you a
hint.

Or are you possibly mixing MAX() and ELEM() values?

Subject: Command list size

I have created a command that has a parameter that allows for multiple
items. When it is passed to my program it sometimes has 2 bytes for
the number of items and sometimes it has 4 bytes. How can I tell in my
program which one is being used?

Thanks,

Albert
