Command line params yes, pointers yes, pointers on command line - no way       
- nothing in 400 land can do that.                                             

As to how many parms, I'm not sure if they added the equivalent of             
%parms or not. You should be able to test the ADDRESS OF a parm to see         
if it's NULL - I think that would work for determining the number of           
parms.

Any Ideas?

RE:     ILE/Cobol 400 parameters.                                               
   

I was wondering if someone could help answer a few questions concerning        
the use of ILE/Cobol-400.                                                      

Can ILE/Cobol take command line parameters?  If it can take parameters         
on the call, can those parameters be pointers? Or must they be call by         
value?                                                                         

Can ILE/Cobol 400 accept a variable number of command line parameters?         
In C, there is an argc that contains the number of parameters and argv         
contains the pointers to the parameters.                                       

Can anyone give me some pointers here?
