While invoking work flow assign datatable to In/Out arguments

In the same way while you are in the child workflow which has been invoked you can assign out_datatable variable to this argument and you will have its value in parent workflow.

Yes you are right. But some unavoidable situation we can not omit it dependence upon the project.
