RE: Operational Descriptors

It's my dim understanding that the OPDESC problems are related to OS400
(Rochester) more than to RPG IV (Toronto).  Because OPDESC modifies the way
CALLP works, it requires OS400 changes.  The issue is that OS400 is
language-neutral.  That is, it needs to have mechanisms that will support
all languages.  There is apparently some difficulty making OPDESC changes in
OS400 that will not break one or more languages.

There are several issues with OPDESC, not the least of which is that it only
supports character variables.  Passing separate length/type arguments is the
only way to support other data types.
