Help with PL/SQL

Hello,

I am not well versed in PL/SQL so maybe someone can help me. I am trying to pass some variables to a function and, I want those variables returned from the function, since the function modifies the variables.

Here is the declaration of my variables:

   type StrSanRec IS RECORD (

         v_adm_cost NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_amt1 NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_mis1 NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_amt2 NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_mis2 NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_amt3 NUMBER := 0,
         v_off_mis3 NUMBER := 0);
   type StrSanTab IS TABLE OF StrSanRec index by binary_integer;
   v_StrSanData          StrSanTab;

   type StrSanDat is table of NUMBER index by binary_integer;
   v_StrSanAmts          StrSanDat;

   v_amt_field           NUMBER :=0;
   v_sub                 NUMBER :=0;

Here is the call to my function:

   x:=split_strsan(v_amt_field, v_StrSanAmts, v_sub, v_StrSanData);

And here is the beginning of the function:

  FUNCTION split_strsan(p_amt_field in out NUMBER,
                        p_StrSanAmts in out StrSanDat,
                        p_sub in NUMBER,
                        p_StrSanData in out StrSanTab) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
  BEGIN

.
.
.

I get the following error:

PLS-00503: RETURN <value> statement required for this return from function

Any ideas? Is my syntax incorrect? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Arthur
