Yo.
Having a bit of trouble with Ada95 at the moment.
What i want to know is- can you write a function that returns no result, or
is there another way to do it?
The program is basically a huge database, and the data is entered into an
array of records. The program loads a text file into the array, and then
presents a list of options (menu). One of the options is a to 'search'  the
database and display a screen of required information. What i want is to
simply call a function/ procedure to do this - but I don't want any result
returned. I don't want the search option to be included into the main
program, as it is huge. It works as a program in itself, but i want to call
it from other programs as either a function-like operation or by directly
calling the compiled/built ada .exe.
I am using GNAT ada95 on a windows98 machine.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Matt.
