The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

My guess is that Paul is simply looking for the someplace he can point
to and say, "see here's where it's documented" rather than saying
"Barbara told me" when he runs across another developer using %addr()
with a *NOPASS parameter.
In other words, if you know that %addr() is used to check for *OMITted
parms, where in the manual does it say that it doesn't work for
*NOPASSed parms.
I don't know that it's spelled out in quite that easy to understand format...
The ILE RPG Programmers guide says
-Omitting Parameters
--Passing *OMIT
---To determine if *OMIT has been passed to an ILE RPG procedure, use
the %ADDR built-in function to check the address of the parameter in
question.
--Leaving Out Parameters
----<nothing here>
-Checking for the Number of Passed Parameters
--%PARMS does not take any parameters. The value returned by %PARMS
also includes any parameters for which *OMIT has been passed.
For a developing working from just the manuals, you have to read
between the lines and infer that %parms() must be used with *NOPASS.
