I just code %Error().
Is this undocumented that %Error and %Error() are the same thing?

I suspect this is a side-effect of a change to the compiler at 510.

Other enhancements have been made to this release as well. These include:
o You can specify parentheses on a procedure call that has no parameters.
:equote.

Prior to 510 specifying empty parentheses on a procedure call with no parameters would result in a syntax error. Somewhat silly and corrected in 510. Since BIFs are effectively compiler-supplied procedures it seems reasonable that empty parentheses are allowed on them too--whether this was by design or side-effect only Barbara can say.
