I work in a world of RPGII, RPGIII,RPGIV,RPGILE(agree with u on new apps.),
all Mixed together.

"compares parms along the way." Would not comparing check called to callers?

Sorry just a "Redneck" programmer. Can do it, just can't say it.:)

Why bother?  Convert the CALLs and CALLBs to CALLP and use a prototype -
problem disappears!

It might be worth the effort of developing a tool that examines all *ENTRY
PLISTs and determines what parms are expected and then build the prototypes
from that.  After all - right or wrong it is what the called program defines
the parm as that matters - not the callers view of it.
