subject: Maximum Number Of Parms

Good morning, class.


I am creating new programs in /FREE based upon fixed format
programs currently in production. I have an external
program call with 39 parms. It works in fixed format (it
must... it's in production), but when I do the same thing in
/FREE, I get:

*RNF5407 20 More parameters were passed in the prototyped
call than are allowed.


Here is the code:

* PFS - Loan Rates Calculation

Where am I going wrong? What's the solution? How many
parms can I pass?

Thanks,
