I'm sure Barbara has better things to do than debug your code.  I obviously do
not!  What you need is:

     D sprintf3        PR            10I 0 ExtProc('sprintf')
     D  szRecvVar                      *   VALUE
     D  szFormat                       *   VALUE Options(*STRING)
     D  Red                          10I 0 VALUE options(*nopass)
     D  Green                        10I 0 VALUE options(*nopass)
     D  Blue                         10I 0 VALUE options(*nopass)

Although only the last parameter requires *NOPASS.  I leave it as an exercise
for you to determine why my version works and yours doesn't.
