        <pre>IMHO this is not a bug, to make mid() vba compatible, use 

Option VBASupport 1

Sub Main
    msgbox my_function()
End Sub

function my_function () as string
   dim my_string as string
   let my_string = "abc def jhi"
   mid( my_string, 5 ) = "123"
   let my_function = my_string
end function</pre>
