For success and clarity would you consider a design mod?
Create a PF description of your parameter string and then fill & pass an externally described data structure. In my opinion it will save you a lot of heartache and confusion right from day one, but especially a few years down the road when you want to expand or maintain the process.

The other option might be to always pass 4 parms:

D UserProfile 10A
D AppSys 5A
D SsnValue 1A D SsnCode 1A
where SsnCode = E, T, P, B, or F ?

I am trying to create a procedure that receives up to 7 parmeters. The
first 2 will always be passed. For the last 5 parms I want to be able
to pass only 1 in any position
So if I have a PR like
P S#CHKUSR B Export
D S#CHKUSR PI N
D UserProfile 10A
D AppSys 5A
D EcisSsn 1A OPTIONS(*OMIT)
D ThrdSsn 1A OPTIONS(*OMIT)
D PrSsn 1A OPTIONS(*OMIT)
D BnkID 1A OPTIONS(*OMIT)
D FedId 1A OPTIONS(*OMIT)

C eval retfield = S#chkusr(USR:DEPT:F1 C :*OMIT:*OMIT:*OMIT:*OMIT) I might only want to pass BnkID or in my example I only want to pass
ECISSSN.
I have tried combinations of *OMIT, and *NOPASS but I keep getting
pointer not set. Maybe I can't use *OMIT this way. At any rate, I want to understand it
better.

Thanks
Mike
