Re: Variable parameter type

     Why don't you just pass back as an alphanumeric field and a field 
     to declare the result type. After the result is returned, a select 
     structure will move the result into the appropriate field.

Hello all, on a project i am working on, i need to write a program or procedure 
that will return a value. The type of the value returned depends on the 
parameters passed. It can be a number, a caracter string or a booleean. I would 
like to avoied declaring 3 parameters for each possible type of values. I tought
that i may use a pointer, but i am not sure.

Any suggestions?
