They are components of the sparms field, which is pointed to by the ecx
register. The association is done with a technique in Fasm which may
have to be changed a bit if you are using some other assembler.

Specifically, Fasm allows the following declaration,

virtual at sparms
	p0	dd	?
	p1	dd	?
	p2	dd	?
	p3	dd	?
	p4	dd	?
	p5	dd	?
end virtual

which is similar to a union or common declaration.
