Description
Some examples in documentation Procedures.pdf do not work :
This one works
HELLO["aa"] Procedure HELLO[a$] Print "Hello, I am a procedure ! " + a$ End Proc
But this one, with a return value, does not :
Print HELLO["one"] Procedure HELLO[a$] Print a$ End Proc[a$+a$]
main.aoz:1:12: error: Syntax error

That's because it's bad code. Should be:-
HELLO["one"]
Print Param$
Procedure HELLO[a$]
Print a$
End Proc[a$+a$]

- File 3.5._Procedures.pdf 3.5._Procedures.pdf added
- Affected version changed from 0.9.5.1 to 0.9.6
Problem still exists in 0.9.6.
No, it's not bad code. According to the AOZ documentation, The example Baptiste gave should work.
See the Procedures.pdf (attached) for details. Search for the heading " Returning values from a procedure ".
NOTE: The old method using Param, Param$, Param#, etc. is still supported as well.
