Works fine here.  This gives no syntax error:

   1  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: end
   2  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: dim who(6)
   3  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: sl = "1"
   4  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: xx = mid(who[sl],"1","4"); zz=mid(who[sl],"6","30")

Does this snippet work on your system?
