I know how to get the returning code of a function but wonder if I can combine the follwoing two lines into one:
e.g.:
#!/bin/shell
...
#line 1
MyFunction arg1 arg 2
#line 2
rec=$? #this will be evaluated later
....

like in c/c++, we'd write one line:
rec=MyFunction(arg1, arg 2)

Because I have many of those funciton calls in one script where all return codes need to be collected & evaluated later. It'd look nicer with one less line here.

Thanks in advance.
