Ulrich, I am a little confused as well, since I ran the test under VM and received "Mo Match" in both cases.

John, I'm a little confused now ... Todd said that his comparison returned 'match'. If REXX executed a comparison of two equal-length character strings, then a 'match' - result would be incorrect. Only if REXX interpreted the two character strings as numerical values in exponent notation (0**0 and 0**8) and performed a numerical comparison, would a 'match' - result be expected. But why? That's not logical. Todd coded two quoted character strings, didn't he? Could someone please run a TRACE and post the results? I can't at the moment. This really puzzles me.
