Okay, I figured out STRING WITH POINTER. Not too shabby; it's a reasonable
version of VARYING fields. Unfortunately, I'm at V5R3 and have no TRIM
function, but that's a different issue. DELIMITED does some of what I need.
Right now, I'm trying to see if I can pass a variable number of parameters
to COBOL. With RPG, I can specify several parameters and then only pass the
ones I need. I can check the program status data structure (or the %PARMS
BIF) to see how many parameters were actually passed.
Is there an equivalent function in COBOL?
