Re: 12 parameters in a procedure

Hi VMS gurus:

How could I execute a command procedure with  12 parameters, like this
?

@procedure Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test

Running the procedure I get this:

%DCL-W-DEFOVF, too many command procedure parameters - limit to eight

I need preserve lower and uppercase too...


Thanks in advance.

Enclosing a parameter in quotes preserves case. As far as 12 parameters, how about:
@proc "Test1, Test2, Test3,..."
and parsing out the 12 values from P1.
