Re: variable parameters

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vishal,

Yes, you can pas a variable number of parameters.   The best and 
most flexible way to define parameters is via a prototype.  For more 
information about passing optional parameters using a prototype in 
RPGIV, look in the manual at the area that describes the OPTIONS() 
keyword.  You will want to read about OPTIONS(*OMIT and/or *NOPASS).  
If you are intending to use *OMIT with constant or value parameters, 
you will also want to read about the CEE test argument api CEETSTA,  
For parameters passed by reference, you can use %ADDR(parm) = 
*NULL instead of the CEETSTA api.

The best way to understand how to do this may be to look at an 
example.  If you are interested I could point you to some examples on 
Midrange Computing's and/or News/400's websites that contain 
examples that show the use of all of these techniques.
