"cc=test" has always worked fine for me (VMS) - the parentheses are only 
necessary when I have two or more words: cc=(testa,testb)

But I've seen problems interpreting conditions (if) before:

select if a=0 ; ok
select if a(1)=0 ; doesn't work reliably
select if 0=a(1) ; ok

The left hand side of the comparison term has to be 'simple', in my 
experience. I'm guessing that this is Stefan's problem, and if he turns 
round all his comparisons, all will be well.
