Re: %parms when called from COBOL

BINGO!  That fixed it.  Next time I see you I owe ya a Coke!

For anyone else needing the exact details, note USING ALL DESCRIBED
needs to be in the 'Special-Names.' section and defined as a LINKAGE
TYPE (see below)

       Special-Names.
       LINKAGE TYPE PRC FOR "SUBPROC1" USING ALL DESCRIBED.

Thanks again Scott,
