A little clarification, Deamon.

First, I don't know the context directly. However, in either case (namely Hex2Decimal as a function-prg or a function-method of an object) what's being done (by the nature of the API call) is to retrieve a value returned by it.

I tend to use the word "function" to describe what the code does (namely return a value). I do this regardless if the called code is in a prg, procedure, or is a method of an object. If it return no value, I might have referred to it as a procedure.
