RE: Properly prototyping QUSCRTUS Create User Space

The good thing about your prototype, is that you're smart enough to avoid
using the "B" data type.  Good job with that!
You should quote the program name in EXTPGM('QUSCRTUS').
Also, upper/lower case parm identifiers is easier to read than all upper
case.
Last, and to your specific question... Sadly there is no way to specify a
default value for a parameter.

I have many APIs already prototypes and available in source code format at
www.rpgiv.com/downloads.
Click on a file name, then a member list appears, and you can retrieve any
of the source I've posted. Note that prototypes on this system are always
stored in the QCPYSRC ("Q Copy Source") source file.

Subject: Properly prototyping QUSCRTUS Create User Space

Is this the absolute best way to prototype the create user space API?  Can 
you specify defaults in the prototype like with an INZ?
