The #PROCEDURE statement begins a Procedure template. A Procedure template contains the Template and target language statements used to generate the source code for a procedure within your application. A #PROCEDURE section is terminated by the first occurrence of a Template Code Section (#PROGRAM, #MODULE, #PROCEDURE, #CONTROL, #CODE, #EXTENSION, or #GROUP) statement, or the end of the file. Within a Template set you may have multiple #PROCEDURE sections, but they must all have unique name parameters.
Example:
#PROCEDURE(ProcName1,'This is a sample window procedure'),WINDOW
#PROCEDURE(ProcName2,'This is a sample report procedure'),REPORT
#PROCEDURE(ProcName3,'This is a sample anything procedure'),WINDOW,REPORT
#PROCEDURE(Browse,'List with Wizard'),WINDOW,QUICK(BrowseWizard(Wizards))
#PROCEDURE(Splash,'Splash Window'),WINDOW,REPORT,PARENT(Window(ABC))
