Re: Calling similiar (overloaded) procedure that has *nopass *omit in the parameter

I'm sure Barbara and co. had good reasons...but I can't help but think
that part of issue was RPG's limited support of NULL. After all
options(*NULLIND) didn't come around till v5r4 and you still can't
define a stand-alone null variable.


Even if RPG had had great support for NULLIND, I don't think it would have led to *NOPASS somehow making the parameter null capable.

Other languages besides RPG (like C with its ..., or program APIs) support the notion of parameters that are simply not passed.
