If there is error with Nth parameter then I know which flag causes trouble.

I just looked briefly through all calls and it seems that flags are 
always either last or last but one parameter, the last being 
'inStrMethod'. However, none of the examples I saw shows an example 
of a calculation string. What are chances that it starts with 'k'?

In V1, one can set the calculation formula independent from creating 
a field. Is that removed from V2?
