Brad,
You skipped over part of his email.

And while you could make a subprocedure which accepted only a varying
length string, this adds another call level which means it is not a direct
replacement for the external program prototype.  When using OVRxxx you
would then have to increase the scope level of the override

Sorry, my mistake.  I assumed you were making a subprocedure.
So, why not make it a subprocedure?  You're not really gaining much that I
can tell without it.  (Wait, haven't we had this discussion before?)
