Re: AW: %Addr() on Const parm @v4r5

All,

For what it's worth, I always do this for my optional parms declared as *
const* and it works like a charm (v5r4 and v5r3 prior to that):

if %parms > *zero and %addr( parm ) <> *null;
...
endif;

You cannot assign the %addr() to a variable, nor can you base anything on
that %addr() (unless you fool the compiler), but you should be able to use
it as a temporary value in an expression.
