Programmatically determine number of parms in procedure prototype?

All,

When using OPTIONS(*NOPASS) in a procedure parameter definition, it is 
necessary to use the BIF %PARMS to determine the number of parms that were 
passed.

Is it possible to determine the maximum number of parameters for a 
procedure prototype?  It would be great to be able to do something like:

IF %PARMS = <total number of parms> THEN ...

or

IF %PARMS = <total number of parms - x> THEN ...

At times, I have a parm at the bottom of the list that is optional; adding 
more parms above it means that I need to go back through update the code 
that uses that bottom-most parm.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
-Sean
