OUTARGS Statement
Specifies arguments in an argument list that you
want a subroutine to update.
| Restriction: | Many SAS analytical procedures perform analytical differentiation on FCMP functions. If you plan to use the function in this way, do not use the OUTARGS statement. In most cases, use the OUTARGS statement only with the SUBROUTINE statement. |

Required Argument
- out-argument
-
specifies arguments from the argument list that you want the subroutine to update.Tip:If an array is listed in the OUTARGS statement within a routine, then the array is passed “by reference.” Otherwise, it is passed “by value.”Example:See SUBROUTINE Statement for an example of how to use the OUTARGS statement in a subroutine.
