Jon,
Not only did you answer your own question, you answered it this morning,
more than 8 hours before you asked it when you told Arco it couldn't be
done with free format. :-)
But for those who don't understand, I'm not using the CALL opcode (nor
would I -- yuck) I'm using a SPECIAL file. SPECIAL files are the
precursor to open access, and UNIXCMD was written in 2009, before OA was
available.
A SPECIAL file has a feature (which UNIXCMD utilizes) where you can
specify a PLIST on the F-spec (or DCL-F) and those parameters will be
passed to the SPECIAL file program (the equivalent to the OA handler).
But, the only way to generate a PLIST is using fixed format, since the
PLIST concept (like SPECIAL files and the CALL opcode) are considered
obsolete and so were never added to free format.
I will make an OA interface to UNIXCMD tomorrow. Should be very easy to do.
