Some commands use name expressions when a name is required.

x=3
y=5
return (x * y) does the same as return x*y.

lcReturn = "x * y"
return (lcReturn) does not evaluate the expression.

What does make a difference is RETURN m.lcReturn. It's funny someone would add parentheses for no reason, but not use m. when there is a reason.
