Hi Adam -

If you add a *NOPASS parameter to a procedure interface, you technically
only need to rebind the callers that use the new parameter. I'm not
sure what would happen if you removed a parameter without rebinding the
callers.

You can remove as well as add *NOPASS parameters at the end of the
parameter list. The only gotcha of removal versus adding is that you
need to make sure that no callers are passing the parameters that are
going to be removed.
