Re: Variable # of parms

[mwalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hmm. I have several examples of checking parms like this:

if %parms() = 6;
      do something

and I have never had a problem with it.
Could you explain deeper.

Thanks,

Mark

Danger. Do not use parenthesis "()" with this BIF.  If you do, the compiler
will interpret the entire expression as an array.  %PARMS isn't a function,
it's a value.
