Yes, that was it.
The other QUITE similar language I've used didn't require the END IF
if it was a one-liner.
You can bet I won't forget that one again - or longer than it takes to
goof up and rediscover it!
Thanks!

I think that the IF clauses need END IF.
IF uppergt = 'BOD' THEN RETURN 0; END IF;
IF uppergt = 'MOD' THEN RETURN 86400/2; END IF;
IF uppergt = 'EOD' THEN RETURN 86399; END IF;
This should solve the problem.
