// IBM API to Test a Parameter for a Valid Address

// EXAMPLE:
// for RTSFA_CCnt = 3 by 1 to (%elem(RTSFA_Codes) - 1);       
//   ParmNumb = RTSFA_CCnt + 3;     // match to a parm number 
//   callp CEETSTA(ValidParm: ParmNumb: iFeedback); // test it
//   if %parms >= ParmNumb          // if parm passed         
//   and ValidParm > *zero;         // and not omitted        
//     ...do something...
