No it's not. Or at least it wasn't in InterBase 5.5, and it's
not considered an error in the code. The 5.5 docs say "An
executable procedure need not return values to the calling
program." "need not" is a long way from "can not". And there
are no checks in the code, working or otherwise, to insure
that every procedure with output parameters has a SUSPEND.
