All my subs are called with arguments, so the ()'s are always there

Actually, no they aren't ;). Your code includes &getinput; and &status calls without arguments at least. Just goes to show how easy it is for code not to be the way you think it is!

If you haven't resolved the issue yet you should try to strip out code until you find the problem or you have a sample script with a minimum of irrelevant code and still demonstrating the issue. You may find I know what I mean. Why don't you? helps focus your effort.

True laziness is hard work
