In my view that's exactly what a procedure is for: Accept some parameters, do some processing, store some data elsewhere, return some results via parameters. Functions, on the other hand, should be more limited. Accept some data, perform one function, return one result, having no side effects.
Original point of view :-) I really don't see why functions and procedures are supposed to behave different. That a function returns a result is simply a convenience as it saves a variable and in this sense I lean towards using functions for everyhing. If we only had functions that would be fine too.
