Lack of closure: I don't believe a function package, much less a command environment can be coded in REXX. those must be coded in another language, therefore less portable.
I've written some utility packages which I concatenate with SYSIN, REPRO to a temporary member, and execute that. Ugh! Lack of support for instream data. Lack of elementary functions, made a challenge by the desire to support arbitrary precision. (Can a function package, in whatever language determine the caller's NUMERIC settings at the instant of call?) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
