Is this not true then?
I know this has been a protracted thread, so I'll summarize: If I use LIST, I
can't use LINKAGE(SYSTEM), so it doesn't set the high bit. If
I use OMITTED, it passes a zero for that parameter, so I can't tell whether the
parameter was omitted or really passed as zero.
Our API is flexible: if you don't specify an output buffer& length, it uses
the input buffer& length. But that doesn't want to work in PL/I.
Ah, so that's what you want it for. But if the output buffer
length is zero, doesn't that tell you to use the input buffer?
And if an argument is omitted, it will appear as zero, right?
I mean, why else would you pass a buffer length of zero?
Ideas?
