Why is it that

doen't work and

<!--#call "REQUEST.set('MatchPattern',bits[0])"--> <!--#var ChoosePart--> does??????

Is this a bug? If so can it be fixed as it is annoying.

This is not a bug. ZSQL methods take keyword arguments, or snif REQUEST, but do not sniff the namespace. This is because the namespace could be huge.

But how is that any different from inside a DTML method. The namespace is huge there too.

Try:

<!--#var "ChoosePart(MatchPattern=bits[0])"-->
