String Parameters of Various Lengths, Take Two

Dear Readers:

Several people have written to point out errors in my solution to the reader who wanted to make an RPG subprocedure accept character parameters of any size. I need to correct the code that I provided in that issue of Midrange Guru, OS/400 Edition. (I plan to explore this topic more and to present the ideas of my respondents in the near future, so watch for more information in a future edition of Midrange Guru.)
