I have a few different ideas, but I'm not really sure if I understand the
scenario.  What are you going to do with the passed data?

It seems to me that you really need to know whether the data is character
or numeric in order to be able to use it later in the subprocedure.  What
is it that you're planning to do with the parameter once you have it?
