Prototype for a command parameter.

 >> Well, I knew that, and I've always work under that impression, but Jon
Paris once said that that wasn't true in all cases, so I started to doubt
myself.

Nah - you're just having a senior moment Bob <g> - I don't believe I ever
said that - that's not to say I couldn't have mis-spoke at some time - but
I've always known the truth!!

What I do try to warn people about is the fact that the LIKE keyword will
only honor the type as it exists in the _program_.  In other words a field
that is zoned on the file is treated as packed in the program unless it
appears in a DS etc. with the original type (either via an EDS or
hand-coding).  Many people get bent out of shape because they define a field
as LIKE a database field and then complain that the compiler changed the
field type on them.
