RE: "guessing" the parameter type.

 >> 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.

I wouldn't waste too much time checking this out unless you are using a very
limited range of parameter types.  OPDESC is not fully supported on the
system sadly and about the only thing it is good for is determining the
length of a character field (and that can be as easily done by using a
varying field to pass the parm).
