You are mixing Units.  The parameter "length" has an assigned unit of "mm" and you are try to change it to "No Units" in your formula.  Take a look at the two user parameters I created, both are 50 percent of the value, one is "No Units" and one is "mm".  Keep your units constant.

Thanks a lot Laughingcreek. Works great now.

Seems a little quirky, but I get it.
