OK, there are limitations.

But ProgramCall object don't allow return values either.

PCML can do everything a ProgramCall can do (because ProgramCallDocument 
wraps ProgramCall) but is easier for non-IBM i developers to use, 
because they just set & get values using a structured naming scheme.

As a developer familiar with IBM i, I find PCML calls to be much easier 
to understand ... I don't have to be aware of all the parameter sizes & 
positions, I just define the PCML document once (or, even better, let 
the compiler generate it for me), load the document, set the variables, 
and make the call.
