This example shows how to optionally return an error.

// Function:    MySqrt 
// Returns:     LPXLOPER 
// Description: Returns the square root of the input 
 
//{{XLP_SRC(MySqrt) 
    // NOTE - the FunctionWizard will add and remove mapping code here. 
    //    DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code!
