RE: Prototype for a command parameter.

["Bob Cozzi \(RPGIV\)" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

The parameter will be sent as a list value since you have MAX(300)
specified.
The first two bytes will contain a 2-byte binary (or "short" integer)
value that identifies the number of elements sent on the list.

Your parm will need to be MOVEL'd to a data structure that has something
like this defined:

D List      DS
D  nCount                  5I 0
D  ObjectList             10A    DIM(300)
