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.

Hi Jim, it turns out that the compiler is optimizing away the
concatenation of the empty literal '', so
parseOpt + ''
is being treated as though it were just
parseOpt
The compiler is passing the address of parseOpt, and the parameter
passed to the parser has the userParmIsNullTermString subfield set to *off.
If you append a blank instead of an empty literal, it will work.
%parser(parseOpt + ' ')
