Hi Steve - yes that seems to work - hence why I have not noticed it
before. I wonder with 4.0.x if it was actually using MVEL for the
function body, or flipping back to the java dialect (which is what
happens when you put it in a different DRL now).

Hi Michael,
We are experiencing the same issue. We have had to put our functions in a
different .drl to get around this for now. If it helps any, this was
working ok in version 4.0.7, and broke when we went to 5.0.1.
Thanks,
Steve Ronderos
