I've tried "calling" functions from UniData Virtual Attribute and they blow
up.  Bummer.

Previous posters have pretty much covered the ground.  UniVerse (and, I
suspect but can't be certain about, UniData) functions are implemented as
subroutines, with the first argument position on the stack reserved for the
return value which is a DATUM.  It can even be a file variable or subroutine
variable!
It follows that, while a subroutine can have 255 arguments, a function is
only allowed 254.  Don't go there!
