is it possible to define this so that it take any "type" as a second parm. Then within the routine, determine what that parm type is and proceed as needed.

writeb('desc1' : 'this is a string');
writeb('desc2' : 123.24);


There's an RFE that is somewhat related to this, asking for an option to pass any type of parameter to the called procedure as a character value, basically passing the %CHAR value of the parameter.

I made a comment in that RFE that I think a better solution would be for RPG to have an "any type" parameter, with an RPG-only "described parameter" mechanism that would allow the called procedure to know what the parameter type is. But that would need a separate RFE, which doesn't exist yet.
