RE: Missing parameter

%PARMS will work only in main procedure.

I'm pretty sure that's not correct.

%PARMS will work with any procedure that has parameters specified as
OPTION(*NOPASS).

For the MAIN procedure, %PARMS is the same as *PARMS (which I have
never actually used, just saw it in the manual).

David is exactly correct. Except that he implies an optional parameter is
needed in order to use %PARMS. (I think that was unintentional.) No such
rule applies.

There are times when it can be handy to test %Parms in a subprocedure
without optional parameters. Usually that sort of thing is done with future
planning in mind.
