I don't know how to access multiple return values of a function.

Say the function is :



then



Is there a syntax which makes this possible ?

You could tokenise your return value.

Make the return value a tokenised string like "5,6,21,blah,201"

Your calling code can chop this up using the built-in token commands and take it from there.

Not elegant, but simple tho.

I've never known any language to return multiple values in such a way. What type of function are you needing this for? There's probably a better way to structure it.

Your other option is to create a UDT and return that.

You could pass those values using REF and then when they are modified in the function they modify the passed values
