I agree with you. Since variables are global for the session, I just declare them and delete them in the calling program.

I'd rather just set the variable and then run the program. The only time I ever found passed parameters useful was back in 6.5 days when you wanted to type something like "run program.rmd using '1' " as the eep to run in a form. I had it happen too many times where the parameters had not been cleared and my program got confused on which to use -- usually caused by some previous programmer not clearing variables, so it was up to me to clear them before doing the "run". I'd rather just avoid it.
