Further information
1. When used with a name this routine selects the procedure to call based on the provided arguments without performing any conversion (for instance, using an integer where a real is expected will not work). The execution will terminate on a runtime error if no compatible procedure can be found.
2. The last version of the subroutine makes it possible to pass all the subroutine parameters via a single list.
3. The execution status of the function is notified via its return value. If this value is ignored ( i.e. the function is used as a procedure) the execution of the model will be interrupted in case of error ( e.g. routine not found or invalid number or type of parameters).
