Hi,

I have great problems using parentheses with DBPro. Sometimes, putting function parameters inside parentheses seemingly makes the compiler angry. For example, the line

won't work, while
has no problems at all.

This is quite boring, as using parentheses kind of helps making the code readable, especially with the commands consisting of several words. This problem also appears when using user defined functions.

Anyone?

If I'm not mistaken, then only the default commands that return something contain parenthasis. (User functions must use parenthasis)

But then again I might be wrong

Absolutely right:

- DBPro commands do not allow parentheses.
- DBPro functions require parentheses.
- User functions require parentheses, whether they return a value or not.
