Larry,
I found this on a Google search, but it almost certainly is five years
old (and here, in the new millennium, programmers are STILL designing
dates without century indicators...) and doesn't refer to platform or
version.

Vijay, the 32767 limit is for DARI-style procedures only. For GENERAL
style, the limit is 90.

Hi Larry,

You probalby know that these types of limits used to reliably found
in Appendix A of the SQL reference for the Version you are using.
Looking there in the DB2 v9 copy, I don't see a limit to the number of
parameters.
All I see is that the maximum number of bytes that can be passed in a
single parameter of an SQL CALL statement is 32765 for a non-LOB and (2
GB-1) for a LOB, possibly limited further by the language and
environment. That doesn't really answer your question.

In the old days before I turned as lazy as I am today, I'd write a Rexx
program to generate and test to see if there might be an undocumented
limit.

Good luck.
Dave
