Yes I have the pragma setup. C doesn't allow you to leave any paramters
out of the middle fo a paramter list, off the end that's fine. SPL and
PASCAL don't have a problem, I don't know about any of the other
languages on the 3k.

If life was perfect I would like the line to look like...

hpsortinit( &sort_status,,,, sizeof(acct_info),, 1, keys );

I get the following error message if I do....

cc: "CMDLOCC.SMI.IDS", line 84: error 1615: Default parameter
specification not supported.

Thanks again, Lane
