RE: Change a VALUE parameter

It depends on what else I was using it for.

Most likely I would already have a variable defined for some other reason.
It might have been defined as 11p2, 5p2, 5i0, or whatever, it just
doesn't matter. I would just use the appropriate already defined
variable.
So let's say I had
MyFileVar (defined as some numeric, integer or something - size doesn't
matter)
and
MyWorkVar (defined as some numeric, integer or something - size doesn't
matter)

I could easily do
MyWorkVar=MySubprocedure(MyFileVar);

Since MySubprocedure defined it's input parameter as CONST, and the return
variable doesn't matter, then it will work fine.

For example, does it matter if MyWorkVar is defined as 11p2, 7p2 or 5p3 in
the following equations?
MyWorkVar = 14.23;
MyWorkVar = 7.5;
MyWorkVar = 123.01;
No, it doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter in
MyWorkVar=MySubprocedure(14.23);
MyWorkVar=MySubprocedure(7.5);
MyWorkVar=MySubprocedure(123.01);

Now, if you know that MySubprocedure often passes back decimal numbers
like 4.25, and if MyWorkVar is an integer value, you may wish to use:
MyWorkVar = %round(MySubprocedure(2.1) : 0);
or some such logic.
