I have procedure that define..

procedure myFunction (a: in out INTEGER) is
    begin


    end

which gets called in main like this....

   myFunction(5) this gives me error that actual must be variable
   myFunction(SomeOtherVariable) compiles fine

Can anyone please explain whats the difference. Should in out be allowed to read and write to parameters.
