I was thinking the same thing. I know how to do it for subprocedures, but
not for "main" programs.

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.
