Syntax errors trying to use CONVERT

[DrD]

Trying your example:

In CAS mode, CONVERT(5_m, 1_ft), generates "Error: Unmatch control word"
convert(5_m, 1_ft) ---> 16.4041994751_(ft), So case matters.

In HOME mode, CONVERT(5_m, 1_ft) results in 16.4041994751_(ft), (depending on settings). convert(5_m, 1_ft) ---> 16.4041994751_(ft), So case doesn't matter.

There is no hint for this behavior in either On Calc help, or the User guide, and so this appears to be a bug.

EDIT: It has been pointed out that convert() is a CAS command, but CONVERT() is not. As such, it is not a CAS bug, but there is room for clarity in the documentation. In any event, depending on the mode used, results will vary. This is a likely cause for your experience.
