It includes a local function definition in the program in the solve block. Local function definitions are not supported in version 11. Here's how to make it work.

Thanks Richard, as I can see MC14/MC15 looks a little bit better than MC11´s solution. But anyway, Thanks a lot for that workaround.

Walter,

The transit operator works fine in MC 11 [as you know from so much work done in the past], it works fine for several arguments as well as for the single case, but the form you have used is incorrect. If it turns red in your work 15 sheet, it will prove the incompatibility between the two versions of Mathcad. And by same token handicapping 15 users of the huge tool box developed in 11 through the years. I have added a second example of a DE system with two functions, if that one also fails from 11 to 15, try to make it work by yourself or in collaboration with 15 collabs.

If either one or both are red, try backward compatibility.

Thanks, Jean, for that info about the transit algo. Yes in 15 works fine without it, but I also want to be backward compatible. Moreover when I use the hugh toolboxes developed for MC11, I want to know how they can be used for MC15 also. Thanks for your help.

I understand that the 2nd example works fine in 15 as you had setup the same way you did for the first. I would recommend that anything that works in 11 and in 15 not be converted to the unique incompatible 15 ... that's what the clients want, want to ignore 15 inventions that would render their previous 11 not work. Mathcad 15 and next/next/next seem to be for users who never had Mathcad. Same problem we had with AutoCad and different clients . Just make a picture of the 15 setup and the two plots for the 2nd example, I want to see ,
