I think you should have a look to _EXTRA in the online help.
The usage of _EXTRA will solve a lot of your problems.

I just counted the number of parameters I defined for
FSC_PSConfig__Define.
39
But I was so drunk that night I don't remember doing it. :-(
Cheers,

I think there might be a limit of about 64 parameters or so in earlier
versions of IDL, but I have to admit I've never pushed this
envelope. I'm a firm believer in having no more parameters
than I can drink beers in one setting. It's served me so
well over the years that I wouldn't think of violating it. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say I've never figured out how to get
that half parameter into my program for the 2.5 I'm
allowed. :-(

Do you mean that there is no set limit on the number of parameters that
can be passed to a procedure or function?

Common blocks. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. I'd put my money on programmer error rather
than IDL restrictions, in this case. :-)
