Re: Quick question (and I think it's come up before)

Jim,

Other's have suggested the %parms method.  Not bad.  However it is 
possible to have parameters missing in the middle.  For example I have an 
old program (that I wouldn't write that way anymore, but you may like 
since you're into old os's) that does a RTVJOBD.  Now, remember on the 
RTV... command set you may omit parameters, right?  Right there is a 
classic example of parameters missing in the middle.  %parms is a 
worthless solution if you may be missing parameters in the middle. 
Nowadays I would use prototypes with *omit, but in the dark ages this is 
what I did.
