Hi Suresh
Actually this has been already discussed.
Actually if you run a process it will continue until it reaches a wait state or an asynchronouse task. Then it will return. So if you have no waiting states and no asynchronouse tasks, you can be sure that he process is finished when it is returned back.
As of now there are two possible ways to get the desired variables back. The simpler is to send a container variable, something like a map, and fill it inside the process. After the process the container is yours and you can access the insides.
