Hello, I have 2 questions on DS2 User Defined Methods ( Chapter 5 ). Q 1 : The third line of the example DS2 program shows the use of the "in_out" parameter. ( Please see attachment). I am not sure exactly what the in_out parameter does. It seems to somehow facilitate the parameters Amount, Rate and Years. These parameters are assigned actual values in the method init()...so I am not sure why we need the "in-out" parameter. Q 2: Could we not have defined the variables Amount, Rate and Years as global parameters (variables) just after the data _null_ statement instead of defining them twice as local variables in the interest() and init() methods ? Thanks. Odesh.
