Rexx came to TSO and people there often say “A Rexx”
Whether it's right or wrong, it drives me nuts. Nobody says "a bash", "a PowerShell", "a Java", "a C++", etc. To be fair people did say "a CLIST", and when they replaced CLIST [programs] with Rexx [programs] it was probably logical to them to replace the word they used to describe them at the same time.
A related pet peeve: "a software". Nobody but nobody says "a hardware". -- Regards, Gord Tomlin Action Software International (a division of Mazda Computer Corporation) Tel: (905) 470-7113, Fax: (905) 470-6507 Support: https://actionsoftware.com/support/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
