Re: CEETSTA

[Phil Groschwitz <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was nothing to the code so I didn't keep it.  

I prototyped CEETSTA (as the example in the manual
shows).

D chkParm     pr     extproc('CEETSTA')
D  exists         10i 0
D  parm#          10i 0
D  feedback       12     options(*omit)

callp chkParm(exists:2:*OMIT)

I found after further testing that it worked with each
iteration, but it screwed up memory used by other
variables.
