Those variables {which were "NOT ADDRESSABLE"} were not passed from another

those variables were not there.

My guess is this is a "feature" of CL.  The variable must be used or 
initialized before passing it as a parameter, even if it is only returning a value.
Well, I know that's not right. I pass variables from CL's all day long to programs without initializing (assigning a value) them first.
I think Bob nailed it when he suggested that you might be using an older version of the CL that didn't define the parameters. If the parameters were defined in the CL (initialized or not) they would show up in the dump of the CL program.
