Given this

Only expressions that are valid on the left hand side of an assignment statement are valid to be passed to an INOUT or OUT function parameter. Some of the things that RBD allows to be passed to an INOUT parm, for instance are: AS expressions, New expressions,  unary expressions (such as -myInt). Valid expressions are things like simple name, qualified name, array access and dynamic access.

I would expect a validation error for this code:

    function testFunctionParameterOutWithUpdateNum005() {@Test}
    	details = "Cannot instantiate the type ENumber";
    	localDec decimal(5,2) = 333.33;
    	updated decimal(5,2) = 543.21;
	updateOutParameterNum005(localDec as number);
	LogResult.assertTrue1( localDec == updated);

    end	    
    
    function updateOutParameterNum005(localLen number out)
    	localLen = 543.21;
    end
