Topic: (setq ss (ssget ":S")) does not work in german autocad

[Lupo76]

Hi everyone,
Today I noticed that the following simple line of code doesn't work in German language AutoCAD:

(setq ss (ssget ":S"))

It works well in English and Italian AutoCAD and in BricsCAD (all languages)
This code should allow the user to make a single window selection and immediately return the selection set without allowing any other selections.
Is there something like this in AutoCAD German? 

Thanks in advance

Try prefixing the mode string with an underscore - similar to AutoCAD commands, this should cause the interpreter to ignore localisations and interpret the input as English, i.e.:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (ssget "_:S")
