PROCEDURE Declaration

  PROCEDURE <identifier>( <formal parameter list> );
 
      <block>
 
  Description
 
    A PROCEDURE declaration is similar to a function declaration. The
    declaration associates an identifier with a block or with a FORWARD,
    EXTERNAL, or INLINE declaration. Unlike a function, a procedure
    does not return a value.
 
    A procedure call is a simple statement. The syntax is:
 
       <identifier> [ ( <actual parameter list> ) ] ;
