It works. But I had to set some headers  in the code block itself as following:

 :exports results :results value

I suppose, I can specify them directly in the org-sbe call, like with inline calls or call through #+CALL?

This feature really needs to be documented and extensively.


Thanks,

It is called org-sbe(parameters). Unfortunately, it is not documented in the
manual. There is <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html>
however. Search for "org-sbe" there.
