Topic group

Defines a function in a program file including variables to represent parameters passed to the function.

Description

PROCEDURE is identical to FUNCTION. While earlier versions of dBASE differentiated between the two, these differences have been removed. The descriptive terms "function" and "procedure" are used interchangably in dBASE Plus. (The term "procedure file" refers to a program file opened with the SET PROCEDURE command, which is not restricted to a file that contains PROCEDUREs only.)

See FUNCTION for details.
