I wrote a bunch of CLISTs until I started writing REXX execs in 1991, but I
wrote very few CLISTs since then. I wish a REXX exec could start with PROC,
like a CLIST can, so from time to time I write a CLIST just because of PROC.
BTW, this is the less-complex way I found to simulate REXX STRIP in a CLIST:
SET XXX = &STR(' AA-BB ')
REXXTRY RETURN STRIP(&XXX)
SET XXX=&STR(&RESULT)
And this is the pure-REXX equivalent :
XXX = ' AA-BB '
XXX = STRIP(&XXX)
REXXTRY is described here: http://gsf-soft.com/Freeware/REXXTRY.shtml
