Damned if that didn't do the trick!

But (1) why, given that it IS "10I 0" in the prototype, 
didn't RPG have the sense to pass it properly in the 
CALLP, and (2) why, given that the CALLB, by its nature, 
didn't HAVE a prototype, did RPG manage to get it right in 
THAT version?

(Then again, I suppose expecting RPG to make sense falls 
somewhere between expecting Java to make sense, and 
expecting C to make sense. Why, oh why, didn't PL/I ever 
become popular?)

Thanks, Bob.
