Yes, the FAQ discusses it.  I guess I need to weigh whether I want to add
another object to the project, or just deal with the "klutz".

So, in essence, the SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM PARM(&A &B)) in the CL program would
be replaced by SBMJOB CMD(MYCMD PARM(&A &B))?  And &A can be 2,0 and &B can
be 4,0 defined in both the command and called program?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Thanks Scott, one more thing to chew on!
