Thanks Ken,

If you are referring to &SYSLIST, I've tried that.

It only works for positional parameters:

LABEL MACNAME (A,B,C)

You can find that there are 3 parameters in the list and you can access them 
each individually.
It doesn't, however, work for what I need.

Chuck,

 From the deep dark mists you can:
a. find out the number of parameters in the list
b: index across the list

Refer to the fine manual,

Help this helps.
