See DCL_CTLFLAGS bit 3

If clear (the default), command procedure supports the default eight optional parameters (that is, (P1,P2,...P8)). If set, command procedure supports up to sixteen optional parameters (that is, (P1,P2,...P16)). This is also applicable when using the CALL command to transfer control to a subroutine.
