TS4.0 will only allow you to return one value but you can call the 
function twice with an input to specify which value you would like to 
return:

-------

Function code for function "Sample"

Input: Mode(NumericSimple), <other inputs>;

<Function code>

if Mode = 1 then Sample = <first value> else
if Mode = 2 then Sample = <second value>;

-------

Calling program:

Value1 = Sample(1, <other inputs>);
Value2 = Sample(2, <other inputs>);
