Re: PCML novice quiestions

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you are confusing "parameters in which you happen to return a value" with "Return Values" Mark.

A return value is the result of running a function (i.e. subprocedure in RPG) - programs can't return values, only functions.

IWS cannot use any subprocedure that returns a value other than an integer. As I noted before it is a limitation in the underlying toolbox, which can be circumvented by using RPG's new RTNPARM option.
