MQL5 Group Name (Symbol Type) - page 2

yes agree. Your function is much cleaner and probably faster? I

think the reason I used 

GetLastError()

was reading this: https://docs.mql4.com/marketinformation/symbolinfostring

Return Value

The value of string type. In case of execution failure, information about the error can be obtained using GetLastError() function:

4106 — symbol is not selected in "Market Watch" (not found in the list of available ones),
4051 — invalid identifier of a symbol property,
4024 — internal error.

Does a call to GetLastError() add anything iif we alert for the error: 

Alert("Error: ",GetLastError());

I dont wish to protract this discussion but I think rewritten with GetLastError would add something.

Anyhow, thanks for your input here. I learned something from you.
