AFAIK, the only difference is how it is called, i.e.:
do MyFunc with SomeValue
MyFunc(SomeValue)
... but not in the definition as a FUNCTION or PROCEDURE.
The difference in the sample code is that by default, in the first case variables are passed by reference, in the second case, by value.
But, I think it doesn't matter whether the function is declared as a FUNCTION or as a PROCEDURE.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
