Further information
1. This procedure is a special version of setparam that can only be used from a subroutine: the effect of the parameter change is reverted at the end of the subroutine.
2. Independently of the location of the call to this procedure and whether other modifications are performed on the parameter (using for instance setparam) the original value of the parameter is saved at the beginning of the execution of the routine and restored before its termination.
