Re: *omit

I like the 2nd syntax a lot better...  tho even better yet would be
something like *PASSED that worked for both options(*nopass) and
options(*omit).

Of course, since the second syntax isn't valid, and CEETSTA is a pain in
the butt (damned thing should RETURN a value!!) I use the %addr()<>*NULL.
