I tried your code, but got no idea about this semi-colon issue.

This one works for me:
#declare Zufall=seed(317);

#macro randsign()
   #local Z1=rand(Zufall)-0.5;
   Z1/abs(Z1)
#end

#declare Count=0;
#while(Count<100)
   #declare ZufallsZahl=randsign();
   #debug concat("Zufallszahl: ",str(ZufallsZahl,8,4),"\n")
   #declare Count=Count+1;
#end

Best regards,
Michael
