Error displaying values from within a function

I am trying to reduce code and to minimize memory usage, by trying to display values from within a function. I can then call it multiple times. Something like this as function code:

function Formatting(x,y,value) {
          dc.drawText(x, y, Graphics.FONT_XTINY, value, Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER|Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_VCENTER);
    }

However, I get an error "Could not find symbol dc". Adding dc like in "function onUpdate(dc)" isn't possible.
Any ideas?

You have to be in a function that has the dc to use the dc, and an example is onUpdate(dc) where it's passed the dc. and the dc can then be passed for "Formatting".

so

function onUpdate(dc) {
    .
    .
    .
    Formatting(dc,x,y,value);
    .
  }
