Re: prototype with different type

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would it be simpler, in the end, to have e couple or more data 
structures and only 1 parm?

Something like:

     d wLayout1     e ds                  extname(FILE1) prefix('W1')
     d wLayout2     e ds                  extname(FILE2) prefix('W2')
     d wLayout3     e ds                  extname(FILE3) prefix('W3')
...
d writeb          pi
d  pParm                         500    const
...
