Informix Error -654

-654 Bad use of PROCEDURE declaration type.

The procedure declaration was used either in the parameters or the RETURNING clause. SPL routines cannot accept or return procedures.

An example of the error follows:

CREATE PROCEDURE testproc (proc1 procedure) -- error RETURNING procedure; -- error ... END PROCEDURE

Correction: Do not attempt to use the procedure declaration type within a parameter or the RETURNING clause.
