[Issue 125457] New: User-defined function call from Calc won't work with comma parameter separators but will work with semicolons

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125457

          Issue ID: 125457
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: User-defined function call from Calc won't work with
                    comma parameter separators but will work with
                    semicolons
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: code
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: jeldredc@comcast.net

Created attachment 83850
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=83850&action=edit
Image of my Calc program w/ image of my function.

Calling a user-defined function from Calc like =VOL(A1,B1,C1) returns an Error
508.  Changing the comma separators to semicolons does work and returns the
correct answer like =VOL(A1;B1;C1).  Comma separators in the function itself
work fine, but commas in the call to the function in the Calc spreadsheet seem
to not work with comma separators, but do work with semicolon separators.  Is
this a bug or am I supposed to know this?  Thanks.

--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <rb...@t-online.de> ---
When you are inside a cell in Calc, you have to use the syntax of Calc; and
Calc has a semicolon as delimiter between parameters. When you are inside
BASIC, you have to use the syntax of BASIC, and BASIC has a comma as parameter
delimiter. It is the bridge to BASIC, which converts the delimiters (and a lot
of other things) automatically. You can learn more about it in the BASIC guide
at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide, in the document
"OpenOffice.org Macros Explained" by Andrew Pitonyak at
http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php and of cause in our forum and mailing list.

Please use these channels before writing a bug report.

BTW, your attachment is not usable, because it is something for a printer but
no picture.
