Is this behaviour intentional?

A table exists called DATATABLE and a numeric field NFIELD exists in it. The record pointer is on, say, record #1.

?MAX(NFIELD, 99)
SELECT MAX(NFIELD, 99) AS COLUMN1 FROM DATATABLE

The first line works fine.
The second line raises Error 1300 "Function name is missing )."

MIN gives the same error. A pity.
(I think this has been there since Fox 2xx - any comments?)

Anyone else seen this?
