@Isini function

Hi everybody,
I know that this thread is for custom functions, but I did not find a thread for the built - in functions.
I'm having some difficulties in using @Isini function.  Using the syntax provided by the equation editor < @Isini(''Co'', SUPPLIER) > on a character field I'm getting an error with the message "syntax error". Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks,
Cristian Gradinaru

I noticed you had a Romanian keyboard layout. Perhaps the "," is not a comma for IDEA's purposes in this keyboard language. Try changing the language of the keyboard to US(English) to see if that helps.

It's not about the keyboard layout. Besides the english keyboard I use the romanian for editing documents in romanian and I need it because of the special characters the romanian language uses. However, when using Idea I switched back to english keyboard.
As I mentioned earlier, the problem was generated by the fact that in regional settings for the english language I set up the "," as the decimal point and the "." as the 3-digit grouping separator. Somehow, I guess that Idea did not know what "," was supposed to be. After reverting to the default values ("." as decimal point and "," as 3 digit separator) the problem was solved.
