Parameter list

A parameter list "is ‘the information sent to and received from the subroutine.’ The term ‘parameter list’ refers to the form in which information is passed between modules (e.g. for accounts receivable, the designated time frame and particular customer identifying number) and the information’s actual content (e.g. 8/91-7/-92; customer No. 3). With respect to form, interacting modules must share similar parameter lists so that they are capable of exchanging information.”
