[EnergyPlus_Support] Use macro in EMS conditional statement (EnergyPlus)

["thevinyldropper@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am trying to use a macro to define a number that is used in a conditional statement as part of an EMS.  Here it is:

IF ZoneTemp <= #eval[FanMinSpeedTemp[] + #eval[ #eval[ FanMaxSpeedTemp[] - FanMinSpeedTemp[] ] / 6 ]]

Where "ZoneTemp" is the reading from an EMS sensor.  No matter how I try to do this, EnergyPlus inserts a comma after the "<=", resulting in a severe error.  Here is the text from the .audit file:

   2978 IF ZoneTemp<=

   ** Warning ** IP: IDF line~2978 Comma being inserted after:"IF ZoneTemp<=" in Object=ENERGYMANAGEMENTSYSTEM:PROGRAM

   2979 

   2980 

   2981 21.666666031,

I can see that the right side of the conditional statement is being evaluated correctly (21.6), but the comma insertion screws everything up.  Any ideas?
