Mike,

The layout of a VARY(*YES *INT2) parameter matches the layout of a 
VARYING field in RPG: length as a binary integer in the first 2 bytes 
and the value starting in byte 3. Just make sure you only use the 
parameter as input (if you would try to assign a different, longer value 
to it, you might overwrite other storage). If you define the entry 
parameters as PR/PI and define the parameters as CONST, you should have 
no problems.
