3 Constant Parameters
A constant (const) parameter is like a local constant or read-only variable. Constant parameters are similar to value parameters, except that you can't assign a value to a constant parameter within the body of a procedure or function, nor can you pass one as a var parameter to another routine. (But when you pass an object reference as a constant parameter, you can still modify the object's properties.)
4 Out Parameters
An out parameter, like a variable parameter, is passed by reference. With an out parameter, however, the initial value of the referenced variable is discarded by the routine it is passed to. The out parameter is for output only; that is, it tells the function or procedure where to store output, but doesn't provide any input.
Собственно в таких случаях хелп таки рулит
