**PROC**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **PROC** attribute may be placed on a PROCEDURE prototyped with a return value. This allows you to use it as normal a PROCEDURE call, not only in expressions and assignments, for those instances in which you do not need the return value. The PROC attribute suppresses the compiler warnings you would otherwise get from such use.

**Example:**

** MAP**

**  MODULE('STDFuncs.DLL')    !A standard functions .DLL**

**Func50 PROCEDURE(SREAL),REAL,PASCAL,****PROC**** **

**  END**

** END**
