Optional parameters (was: Missing parameter)

Prototype with no parameters specified as OPTION(*NOPASS).

You would not find the following acceptable?

// If more parameters have been added without checking here
// then abort
If %Parms > 5
sendEscape('USR4107': 'Too many parameters to myProc.'
+ ' Complete the maintenance.') ;
EndIF ;

If the prototype specifies 5 parms, and 6 parms are specified on the invocation ... the compiler will complain.

If I saw a procedure with no optional parameters, and saw that line ... I would think that the prototype was wrong or that the developer forgot to put in optional parameters.
