I think that your second example is misprogrammed. Since `result` is a table the procedure `make` should return `eval(result,1)` or `eval(result)`.

[edited] A Maple table has type `last_name_eval`. See the help-page last_name_eval which states, "A procedure that returns a table, module, or another procedure normally requires an evaluation at the return site, using the two-argument form of eval in which the second argument is 1."

Dear methodology,

thank you very much for pointing this out! I intended to avoid the copying of the table caused by evaluation, as I am considered with particularly huge tables.

I guess the solution would be to pass the variable that shall hold the resulting table as a parameter and avoid using return for the table alltogether?

Best wishes,
