Given clearance to descend via the PARQR1. Landing south at CLT 18L/R/C; 23 require two different altitudes. PARQR1 has two different altitudes to descend to; if the controller does not differentiate between 18L/C/R; and RWY 23.Using the language 'landing south' is not enough. RWY 23; or 18 L/C/R should be expressed.
A321 Captain reported confusion when ATC cleared him to 'descend via the PARQR1 arrival to CLT; landing south' without specifying the runway; leaving the final altitude in question.
