Re: Missing parameter

I mean if we are checking number of passed parameter in a procedure
that in not a main procedure then %Parm in this procedure will not
show the correct value of the passed parameter. But if you are passing
parameter to that procedure then it will work. but %Parm will show you
the number of local parameter, not the global one passed in the
program.

Within restrictions noted by Simon, that's basically true.

Having said that, it is very rare (for me) to need to know within a
procedure how many parameters were passed to the program; I just don't code
that way (anymore). I think "Service Program," and count the parameters
that are passed to the procedure. If I really, really needed the number of
program parameters, I suppose I could reference psdsParmCount (which is my
standard Program Status Data Structure name for Parameter Count to the
program). But one would have to be careful, because THAT won't work if the
procedure is in a service program.
