The wording is vague, which is probably what is causing your confusion.  I suspect the author meant to write

 

> You can create at most one function and one CALL routine in a single FCMP procedure step.

 

Now the question is unambiguous. The answer is false because you can define multiple functions in a single call to PROC FCMP.

False is the right answer.

 

A single FCMP procedure can have any number of Functions and Call Routines.
