Maximum Number Of Parms

[Robert Munday <rwmunday@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning, class.


I am creating new programs in /FREE based upon fixed format programs currently in production.  I have an external program call with 39 parms.  It works in fixed format (it must... it's in production), but when I do the same thing in /FREE, I get:

*RNF5407 20  More parameters were passed in the prototyped call than are allowed.


Here is the code:

 *  PFS - Loan Rates Calculation

Where am I going wrong?  What's the solution?  How many parms can I pass?
