You're right of course. Mea culpa - I'd forgotten that.
Interestingly, using a SQL expression doesn't require that:
>LIST BOOK_TITLES EVAL "PRICE * UNITS"
PRICE * UNITS WRITE attempt on read-only file.
Unable to write item "EVAL1496.1".
I-descriptor "PRICE * UNITS" was not compiled.
>
>SELECT (PRICE * UNITS) AS LineTotal FROM BOOK_TITLES;
LineTotal.....
285.78
So there's no good reason why it should.
