Tom,

Yeah, a challenge indeed. Currently, operational descriptors are only passed
for character/graphic parameters. IN theory, therefore, I could
*assume*that if no OD is present for a parameter, then it's a numeric
value
(assuming I also specify OPDESC for the procedure). Plus, even if I do pass
OD's, I won't be able to check for upper-case input etc.

As far as using a Java ArrayList goes, I don't know Java well enough to
implement this myself, but my *guess* would be that it would be much slower,
what with the JVM startup and stuff.

Rory,

That's an interesting thought. It would be a challenge to account for
all of the variations.

I'm sure I'll be drawn and quartered for suggesting this, but wouldn't
it be easier to use something like a Java ArrayList for this instead of
trying to reinvent the wheel in RPG? Just a thought. I'm not an expert
on Java performance in RPG. Maybe it's even worse than embedded SQL.
