If you enter the following into a `function` node, no statement is flagged in the editor:

```auto
msg.payload = 0755
return msg;

```

However when you look at the flow diagram, the function node is flagged (red triangle) with a noerr:

and you get a message at deploy time:

and if you do deploy, the node works correctly:
