PROCTYPE         Define procedure type                              Directive

  PROCTYPE procname [procedure_description] ; Ideal mode
  procname PROCTYPE [procedure_description] ; MASM mode

    Declares a procedure type. Describes a procedure but does not create a
    prototype for it.

    Since procedure types don't allocate data, you can't create an
    instance of a procedure type.


    You can use a procedure type as a template for a prototype or a
    procedure declaration, for example:

       PROCTYPE footype pascal NEAR  :word, :dword, :word

       PROCDESC protof footype

       PROC foo footype                 ; Pascal near procedure
       ARG a1:word, a2:dword, a3:word   ; Ensures type checking
       ; ...
       MASM                             ; Can't do this in Ideal mode !?
       CALL [footype PTR bx], ax, ds bx, cx     ; No error
