Represented by 'Returns' in the function format, this is the value that the function returns when it is called.
Valid values include:

VOID

No value is returned

  
When a void or no value is returned, you might use the function in the following manner:

No value is returned

LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2)

or

CALL LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2)

BOOL

A boolean value is returned.

TRUE is 1

FALSE is 0. False normally results in an error code. A list of the error codes is in Appendix A of this guide.

...

 BOOL       fOK;
fOK = LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2);
if (fOK)
{ 
};

or

If LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2)

 IF LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2)  
  / comment / 
ELSE 
  / comment / 
ENDIF

or
in Visual Basic
 If LceFunction(parameter1, parameter2) = LceTrue then    ' comment  
Else 
  'comment
