Works because EXECIO, by default, pulls the data to write from the data stack. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, July 1, 2024 11:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Rexx is quite cool, flexible, powerful, feature-rich, thank you!

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
