MS> Can function procedures in Oberon return structured values? MS> In Modula-2 they cannot, I think in Modula-2 this is implementation defined. I don't recall that Wirth explicitely says something about this. At least the Rowley modula-2 compiler allows you to return structured values from procedures. Something like this is legal: MODULE Ret; TYPE Rec = RECORD a,b,c,d: REAL; END; Arr = ARRAY [0..10] OF LONGCARD; PROCEDURE a(): Rec; VAR b: Rec; BEGIN RETURN b; END a; PROCEDURE c(): Arr; VAR b: Arr; BEGIN RETURN b; END c; BEGIN END Ret.
