   DECLARE [SYSTEM] FUNCTION name AT address [ ( par1 [, par2 [, ... ] ] ) ] RETURN ret [ ON targets ]
   par : name AS type ON register
   par : name AS type ON STACK(width)
   ret : register AS type | STACK(width) AS type
   width: BYTE | WORD | DWORD
   targets : name of targets, separated by comma (,)

The DECLARE FUNCTION is a way to define and call external procedures written in machine language and to insert assembly into the sources. The procedures defined in this way can be called as if they were an integral part of the language, and any result value can be retrieved by calling it as a function:

'''value = test[]'''

  DECLARE SYSTEM FUNCTION test ON CPC, ZX
