ARGUMENT

 The ARGUMENT function specifies an argument in a variable-length
 parameter list that was created using the LIST attribute.


 Syntax:

    ARGUMENT( parameter-name, n )


 The 'parameter-name' argument specifies the name of a  parameter
 declared  with the LIST attribute.  The 'n' specifies a positive
 integer value that identifies the argument.  The first  argument
 in  a  list  is always 1.  An error occurs if the value supplied
 for 'n' is less than  1,  or  exceeds  the  ARGUMENT_LIST_LENGTH
 parameter (which indicates the total number of arguments).

 If the LIST parameter is a value parameter,  ARGUMENT  indicates
 the  corresponding  value  in  the  argument  list.  If the LIST
 parameter is a VAR parameter, ARGUMENT is  a  reference  to  the
 corresponding variable in the argument list.
