...but overloading won't solve that problem. You'll still need one
procedure for every combination.
All that it changes is that those procedures can all have the same name,
instead of having to have a separate name for each one. You still have
to write just as many procedures.
Why don't you just return a date field, and use %subdt() to break it
into it's compontents?
YY = %subdt(splitDate(whatever): *YEARS);
MM = %subdt(splitDate(whatever): *MONTHS);
DD = %subdt(splitDate(whatever): *DAYS);
That's a lot easier than trying to solve this problem using overloading.
Believe me.

Roger, the problem is that our date fields are stored YY, MM DD
components with packed/zoned/integer and binary types. To modify
parameters by reference I'd need one procedure for each combination.
