conversion error from MathCAD 15 to Prime 11

I have this general relativity solution to Godel's metric solved in MathCAD 15 that runs just fine.  I wrote it in 2016 so details are a little fuzzy as to how I did it :).  I tried to convert it to Prime 11 and got several errors.  Are the errors easy to fix, or does it require a complete rewrite of the programs within?

Main problem is that Prime does not allow symbolic evaluation inside of programs like you did in the last line in Gammap.

Furthermore Prime uses a different symbolic engine so its more often necessary to use the modifier "simplify" to get a simplified result.

And you must be patient - Prime and especially the symbolics is a lot slower than real Mathcad.

Hope the attached file will help.
