  Text:         Params outside first 64K of working-storage invalid
                for call-by-number
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  When using Run-Time System call-by-number routines in
                16-bit environments, you can use parameters only in the
                first 64K of your Data Division, and they must not be in
                the Linkage Section.
 
  Resolution:   Use the REF directive to find out where your
                parameters are in the Data Division. If your parameters
                are beyond the first 64K of your Data Division, you must
                alter your source code so that parameters are within the
                first 64K.
