Returning from a procedure

When you return a value from a procedure are you returning the value or a
reference to the value?

I have several procedures in a service program that are used to access
different fields in a database and I want to make sure that if I return the
database field that it wont change if the service program is used to get a
value from a different record. Also I thought about moving the value from
the field to a work field in the procedure but I was worried the memory
could be reclaimed.

Thanks.
