MaplePrimes - answers and comments on Question, Result Return(value)

Return <> return

Maple is case sensitive, and Return is not the same thing as return, which is what Maple uses. (Indeed, all of Maple's ?keywords are in lowercase.) One of the procedures must use the capitalized version.

Just guessing here, but was one of the sets of procedures translated automatically from Mathematica?

Is the source for the procedures text files or a Maple worksheet? If the former, just use a text editor to search/replace Return with return. For a Maple worksheet you could do the same provided you used Maple input format rather than 2D format as the input region. That is, edit the *.mw file in text editor and change Return(whatever) to return whatever. If you used 2D format, select everything in the worksheet (Ctrl-A), right click, pick 2D Math -> convert -> 1D Math input. Save the worksheet, open in an editor, change as described above. If you prefer the 2D input, then reopen the worksheet, select all, and convert all input back to 2D input.

If you have to convert between 2D and 1D math, I'd be sure to save a backup of the worksheet before changing anything.

Thank you

Thank you, this was exactly what was wrong, quick find and replace solved everything :)
