FWIW, I wrote an "INCLUDE" processor for Rexx as part of my Rexx XML Parser many moons ago. I've recently published it as a SourceForge project (more current than the CBT647 file - no offence to CBT guys, it's just that I like the subversion version control that sourceforge provides). See:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rexxxmlparser/ ...and browse the SVN code repository for rexxpp.rex. It's nothing magical (i.e. any rexx programmer could have done it) but I found it useful for my purposes. The idea is that you run it to regenerate your Rexx source which has the INCLUDE directives embedded as comments. A new Rexx source file is produced with all the most current "included" source files. You could do that at run time, but it would be additional overhead. Probably best to just regenerate your source files whenever an "included" file changes. Cheers, Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
