Thanks for all the responses and explanations. I am using :results silent to
prevent printing any results next to the code block. Using :results output
replace in #+CALL: block works for R code blocks. But emacs-lisp code blocks
are not working.
#+name: calc_half
#+begin_src R :exports code :results silent :var x=0
x / 2
#+end_src
#+CALL: calc_half(x = 5) :exports results :results output replace
#+RESULTS:
: [1] 2.5
My function call returns call_calc_half[:results value replace](x = 6)
{{{results(=3=)}}}.
With elisp code block, =#+CALL:= does not work.
#+name: double
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports code :results silent :var n=1
(* 2 n)
#+end_src
#+CALL: double[:exports results :results output replace](n = 4)
#+RESULTS:
Now function call returns call_double[:exports results :results output
replace](n = 3) {{{results(==)}}}
