RE: Parameters

[Phil Groschwitz <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think there was a thread on this in December or
November, so check the archives.

I think the 15,5 rule applies if you are calling the
cl from a command line.  But from another program it
should work because the parameter lengths are known by
the program.  Personally, I always pass character data
to/from cl's.

Check the usual problems - incorrect parameter list
order, parameter definitions inconsistent, etc. 
(another reason to use procedures).
