I am calling a procedure(order) from a calling procedure (caller).
Order uses an In out parament (Ser_no)

Order is supposed to return a serial number.

how can i copy the value returned by Order to a local variable of
Caller.

thanks.

Demos of the use of OUT parameters can be found in Morgan's
Library at www.psoug.org under Procedures.

this sounds like just typical assignment, ie, localvar :=
localvar_sent_as_in_out_variable

or, just pass the local var as the in/out variable -- that's what in/outs
are there for.
