You can only return one value from a procedure. If one of the parameters (or a fourth one) defined whether you wanted Duty or Tariff, then your second example would do fine.
Also, I'm not real familiar with the technical differences between duty and tariff, but if they are different, wouldn't you want two separate procedures, anyway? If they use some common methods, you could put those into their own subprocedure(s) and invoke it from the Duty and Tariff subprocedures.

Subject: Returning values with a procedure
Returning values with a procedure.
This is probably simple but I have never done it and can't find an
example of how to do it. I have an application that looks to me like it
should use procedures that will return values. Here is an example of
what I'd like to do:
c eval Duty = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
and the procedure CanadianDuty would have 3 parameters as input and
return the value of the duty.
I believe I can do that process, but I *know* I have no idea how to do
the same thing where I need to return 2 values, say "Duty" and
"Tariff". I am sure this solution would be wrong! :)
c eval Duty = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
c eval Tariff = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
and this would also be wrong:
c eval Duty:Tariff = CanadianDuty(parm1: parm2: parm3)
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
