When you enter these lines in Command window:

Open Database YourDBCName
Modify Procedure

A code window pops up. That is where you would write your SP code. For example with tableName and fieldName as parameters you could write as:

Function GetMax( tcTableName, tcFieldName )
    Local Array laMax[1]
    Select Max( &tcFieldName ) ;
        from (m.tcTableName) ;
        into Array laMax
    Return laMax[1]
Endfunc

You could then say for example:

result = GetMax( 'Contacts', 'LastName' )

PS: Didn't translate your SP sample because it was wrong already.
