You cannot pass variable nos. of arguments like C. But can function overloading like C++.

Create package that have same name of function with different parameters.

eg.
package vPackage

     function cfunc(a number,b name, c number)......  -- 1
     function cfunc(a number,b name)...... -- 2
     function cfunc(a number)......  -- 3
     function cfunc()......  -- 4

end vPackage...

 So, when you call cfunc(10,'aa',20)..will call first one ..if cfunc(10,'aa')..will call 2nd one..and so on.
