Updated again.
String variables can be passed BYREF to user defined functions.

An example:

dim a, b, c as string

a = "AAA"
b = "BBB"
c = "CCC"

changethemall(a, b, c)

msgbox 0, a & $crlf & b & $crlf & c

function ChangeThemAll(byref sA as string, byref sB as string, byref sC as string) as long
ChangeSingle(sA)
ChangeSingle(sB)
ChangeSingle(sC)
end function


function ChangeSingle(byref s as string) as long
s += "_" & s
end function

[ErosOlmi]

New update.

Any numeric or string variables can be passed BYREF to functions.
Also array elements can be passed BYREF
Full array variables still not supported.
