Re: Can a SubProcedure know the name of a variable passed to it ?

For what purpose? What are you going to do with the name of the caller's parameter once you have it? What's the purpose of the boolean field? I guess I just don't understand.

Are you looking for mnemonics?

IsBlank or the variable named IsNotBlank.

I don't know how I can differentiate the two in the SubProcedure
unless IsBlank is not just a boolean, but actually a structure that is
composed of a boolean followed by a text field that carries the name
with it, so that it can be interrogated.
D IsBlank DS
D Boolean N Inz(*On)
D Text 10 Inz('IsBlank')

I suppose there is the other way, which is to make IsBlank not a
value but a Subprocedure IsBlank() and then use Procptr to decipher the
name.
