I missed the concept that there would be multiple PC programs.  Completely
my fault!

Again, my fault.  From the original post, I thought you were tinkering with
the idea instead of working a specific problem.

My meagre contribution is only to suggest that the "middleware" store the
list of parameter type/lengths by system name/library name/program name.
That way your cross reference will run on a network of 400's without
changes.

I will poke around my equally meagre MI code collection and see if I have a
map to the ODT.  There may be a way to materialise the program template and
re-construct the definitions of the PEP parameters.
