LEFT Error (Or PICNIC Error...) REFORMATTED

OK This is driving me freeking nuts. What is wrong with this eval statement?

IPT1 and IPT2 are 15 character alpha fields.  LN is a 2.0 numberic field.

The errors are from the compiler.

             EVAL      IPT2 = LEFT(IPT1,LN)

*RNF0604 20 a The token is not valid; token is ignored.
*RNF0312 20 b A right parenthesis is expected but is not found.
*RNF5377 20 c The end of the expression is expected.


PLEASE tell me whats wrong or just hit me!!

Yes that's a comma above the 'a'.
