CALL "C$NARG"
USING NUM-PARAM
| NUM-PARAM COMP-1 |
This routine must be called with one USING parameter that must be a COMP-1 data item. This data item is filled in with the number of parameters. If the calling program is a subprogram, then this will be the number of USING items in the CALL statement that initiated the program. If the calling program is a main program, then this will be the number of CHAINING parameters passed from the runcbl command line or the CHAIN statement that initiated the program. C$NARG works only when the program is a called subroutine. It does not work with the "CALL RUN" form of the CALL verb.
