*ENTRY PLIST (was: RE: Pointer not set for location .....)

Don't know if this will help, but I usually check the number of %PARMS
passed in *INZSR and move them into working fields only if passed.  Then, if
it is a critical parm, I can do some kind of notification and if it is an
optional parm, the rest of the program does not care.

This also helps if you want to add a new parm without having to revisit
every program that calls it.

If %parms >= somenumber
Move parm to work field
Set flag for new function
Endif

That error happened to me when someone modified my RPG ILE program to
accept a value using *Entry PList and then never passed a parameter.

I found the problem very quickly using STRDBG.
