Can I write a subprocedure in CL? One that accepts multiple input
parameters and returns one output parameter? If so, how?

I'm on 7.2 and I can't create a procedure in CL, but I can sort of
emulate that idea via a CMD object with RTNVAL().

Once, long ago, I had some complex code in CL (I know, red flag already)
that I wanted to reuse in some RPG programs as a function (if
ifs_folder_count(/dir/dir/dir) > 1), but I didn't want to rewrite it so
I wrapped it inside an RPG subprocedure that did the CALL/PARM thing to
the CL and returned the results via RETURN.
