Re: "guessing" the parameter type.

Carlos,

I think Operational Descriptors are what you looking for. You pass it the 
parameter number passed to the module or procedure and it will return the data 
type.

You have to define OPDESC on the procedure prototype and interface and use the 
CEEDOD or CEEGSI API's.
