What does the call statement look like in the calling program?

We saw something similar recently when we were calling a program with two
parms and using the same variable for both parms - e.g.:
Call           'ProgA'
parm                   parm1
parm                   parm1

The parms are passed by pointer, so we ended up passing two pointers to the
same address. When the called program changed one, they both changed since
both pointed to the same location in memory.

Took us a while to figure that one out. (assuming we were correct ;-})
