Addendum: In this case, I could break the program up into two

programs: one the sets the valid configuration and one that sets an

invalid configuration. Neither would require parameters. However,

if a parameter is specified to a program without a [l]parameters

statement, an error 1234 (No PARAMETER statement is found.) is

thrown. (I note the typo in the error message: "PARAMETER" should be

"PARAMETERS".)
