You can use the parameter function only within a response to OBJECT or response to item response definition. If you use the function within any response other than a response to OBJECT or response to item, ESL returns the null string as the value of the function.

If there is no parameter attribute associated with the object or item, ESL returns the null string as the value of the function.
