What is the advantage of parameter lists??

I suspect there is no advantage, just "we always do it like that". They
were just introduced to cope with the limited punch card format. Same
with
key lists actually. But these days we don't have to use them anymore.
Provided free format RPG is used.

Parameter lists... does anybody know there advantage, besides obscuring
the
program??


PLISTs go away with free-format. So, there's that.
