I think Jacque was right even if she answered before being asked. 
"the long ID of pitemname" is flagged as invalid syntax since at 
compile time the object type after of is missing. Adding control 
fixes it. A workabout could be to use do ("getPropertyValues the long 
ID of" && pitemname), which would defer compilation until execution.
