So here is the relevant part of my .pov file.

#declare Rnd_1 = seed (1153);

isosurface
{
  function
  {
    BASE_SHAPE(x + rand(Rnd_1), y, z)
  }
}

The exact statement minus the + rand(Rnd_1) works fine.

Here is the error:

File 'asteroid.pov' line 216: Parse Error: Expected 'function identifier', }
 found instead
