I think they started doing this just to make the variable more visually separated from literal strings. I don't think it makes a difference one way or another. Open one of the rules that doesn't have parenthesis, re-save the rule, and see if the parenthesis are added.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 13 Oct 2006 20:36:38 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/csa-variables/m-p/677509#M92140 RichardSW 2006-10-13T20:36:38Z Re: CSA variables https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/csa-variables/m-p/677510#M92143 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the link, it was helpful for other reasons, but doesn't address why in v649 sometimes the variables have parenthesis, and sometimes they do not.</P><P></P><P>In v616, the variables did not have parenthesis, but in v649 some do (my original post had it backwards).
