I believe you'll need to specify OPDESC on your parameter interface:

d #CitySt         pi            27    opdesc
d  inField                      50    options(*varsize)
d                                     const

I am trying to retrieve the String length of an incoming parameter in a
Procedural parm defined with *varsize.  I am receiving the following error:

Message ID . . . . . . :   CEE0502       Severity . . . . . . . :   30
Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic
Date sent  . . . . . . :   01/21/02      Time sent  . . . . . . :   14:24:56

Message . . . . :   Missing operational descriptor.
Cause . . . . . :   The specified operational descriptor location in
procedure
  CEEDOD does not contain a valid operational descriptor.
Recovery  . . . :   Specify a valid operational descriptor location and
ensure
  that an operational descriptor exists at the location.


Forgive my ignorance, but I have no idea what this means.  Here is the
code...

/copy prototype...
D #getOps         PR                  EXTPROC('CEEDOD')
D  ParmPos                      10I 0 Const
D  o_descType                   10I 0
D  o_dataType                   10I 0
D  o_descInf1                   10I 0
D  o_descInf2                   10I 0
D  o_fieldLen                   10I 0
D  o_errors                     12A   OPTIONS(*OMIT)

...

d #CitySt         pi            27
d  inField                      50    options(*varsize)
d                                     const
