>>Hi Bob...
>>That was just a sample and not a very good one, but I just wanted to know how to call a METHOD and pass parameters. I can see it is the same as calling FUNCTIONS. You helped me with that part, now what about if I want to have the METHOD return a value? ...example
>>MYMETHOD parm1
>>local amt
>>do something...
>>return amt
