The first is '1', and the second is '2'. test(a) where a is '1,2' passes 1 argument into the XCMD that evaluates to '1,2'. Therefore, your program is not getting a valid handle for the second argument. You should instead use the line test(item 1 of a, item 2 of a) to pass in two arguments as you need.
