Function can use Out/Inout Parameter

Oracle Certification, Database Administration, SQL, Application, Programming Reference Books Function can use Out/Inout Parameter

Can we use an OUT/INOUT parameter in a function?

Yes of course.

A Small example:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST(A IN NUMBER, B IN OUT NUMBER,
C OUT NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
    D NUMBER(3);
BEGIN
    B := B + A;
    C := B;
    D := A + B + C;
    RETURN D;
END;

DECLARE
   A1 NUMBER(3) := 10;
   B1 NUMBER(3) := 20;
   C1 NUMBER(3) := 30;
   D1 NUMBER(3) := 40;
BEGIN
   D1 := TEST(A1,B1,C1);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(A1 || ' ' || B1 || ' ' || C1 || ' ' || D1);
END;

Gowd.
