Sorry for the confusion there.
Ed, UniData doesn't advertise FUNCTIONs as being compatible with SUBR(). I don't see why it is any uglier to have to write a FUNCTION with two arguments in order to be able to invoke it via SUBR passing only one parameter than it is to code a SUBROUTINE that way.

Current releases of UniData *DO NOT* implement FUNCTION as a SUBROUTINE with an extra, hidden argument. UniVerse does. In UniVerse a FUNCTION declared with two parameters *IS* a SUBROUTINE with three. On UniData a FUNCTION declared with two parameters is exactly that - a FUNCTION which expects two parameters.
