PSEND SEND VARS=&REQUEST* TO ARGS
&1 = ABC XYZ 123 789
PSEND SEND VARS=&REQUEST* TO VARS=&A*
&A1 = ABC XYZ 123 789
PSEND SEND VARS=&REQUEST* TO VARS=(&A*(1,2),&B*) RANGE=(3,4)
&A1 = ABC XYZ 123 789
PSEND SEND VARS=&REQUEST* TO VARS=(&A(2),&B(2),&C(2),&D(2))
&A = AB
&B = "C "
&C = XY
&D = "Z "
PSEND SEND VARS=&REQUEST* TO VARS=(&A(1),&B(2),*,&D(1))
&A = A
&B = BC
