Here is the latest response from Rocket:

The problem here is now with ICONV, but with the jBASE runtime.

There is a known problem where, *in the left side of the argument you 
cannot store the result of the function used with the variable on the right 
side of the argument.*

Change your code to read: 
AMT      = REC<4> + 0
NEW.AMT      = ICONV(AMT,'MR2')
CRT "AMT = " : NEW.AMT
A<X> = NEW.AMT


Um, holy crap!  What!? That is kind of the WHOLE idea of a function!!!   
Sure hope this gets resolved soon.
