Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

RETURN-VALUE function

Provides the value returned by the most recently executed RETURN statement of a local or remote procedure.

Syntax

RETURN-VALUE

Example

For an example of the RETURN-VALUE function, see the RETURN statement reference entry.

Notes

The returned value has the CHARACTER data type.
If no value was returned by the most recently executed RETURN statement, RETURN-VALUE returns an empty string ("").
If you have a procedure which does not end with the RETURN statement, the value in RETURN-VALUE will be the value of the last executed RETURN statement. RETURN-VALUE is not cleared if there is no RETURN statement.
For more information on remote procedures, see OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications .
