RE: *NOPASS parameter retaining old value

Technically, there isn't a problem in this instance...as long as the
compiler does short circuit evaluations...

But IMO, it's a "best practice" if you will to have the check for
*NOPASS parms explicitly set working copies of the data that are then
used in the actual business logic.

Thanks, Charles. That's what I usually do since I rarely refer to a
parameter only one time, and I prefer not to repeat testing things like
%Parms. Besides, the copied-value method can be so much clearer.

D myFlagParm

D myFlagDefault
D myFlag

If %Parms > n ;
myFlag = myFlagParm ;
else
myFlag = myFlagDefault ;
Endif ;
