Function calls

A function is a uniquely named set of statements that perform a certain task. A function can take a set of arguments to operate on and return a value as a result of the task it performed. Use a function's value in assignment statements, condition statements or as a program statement.

All functions, whether user-defined or built-in, are called in the same manner: enter the function name followed by the parameters to be passed to the function. Example:

signonPanel("OMEGAVIEW");

A function's value can be used in assignment statements, condition statements or as a program statement. Examples:

Result = signonPanel // an assignment   
("OMEGAVIEW");                                                      
If (signonPanel("OMEGAVIEW") == // in a conditional statement;  
1)  
SignonPanel("OMEGAVIEW"); // as a program statement
