Hi Tom - its great you are trying this out - once again - coudl you attach enough to repoduce this to a JIRA? It will get added to the integration tests. <br><br>There is no fundamental reason why you can't cast like that at all, its certainly not a design constraint, just - SHOCK - a bug ! Say it isn't so !

<p><span lang="en-us"><font face="Arial" size="2">We have a number of rules with eval's in them such as:</font></span>

</p>
<p><span lang="en-us"><font face="Arial" size="2">The parser has issue with the cast syntax in the eval removing the cast (like (Integer) ) cleans up the paser issue however this is not a feasible solution. Casting is required in some cases with out adding a good bit of extra work.
