Yes; I'm not sure what OPTIONS(MAIN NOEXECOPS) is telling it. Note
that the "standard" OS PLIST is only one word long, but he wants two
parameters.

Not quite; a CHAR() VARYING is passed as a locator/descriptor, with
the locator pointing to the length. But the key question is what PL/I
will try to do with the *second* parameter, which is nonstandard.
