RE: Is There A Better Way To Grab Parameters?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Definitely do this - more flexibility in defining parameters with 
prototypes than with *PLIST

The prototype should be called the name of the program. Follow the PR 
statement with the parameters - you can use LIKE and all that in the 
keywords. Then put in the PI - procedure interface - can be right 
away. Just use the same parameter definitions as the PR and you are good to go.
