Ah, nevermind. I found this in the Programmer's Guide:

Passing by Value With a prototyped procedure, you can pass a parameter by value instead of by reference. When a parameter is passed by value, the compiler passes the actual value to the called procedure. When a parameter is passed by value, the called program or procedure can change the value of the parameter, *but the caller will never see the changed value*. To pass a parameter by value, specify the keyword VALUE on the parameter definition in the prototype, as shown in the figures below.

Dang. I was hoping I could have different size decimal parms in the caller/callee and get a changed value back.
