Nothing motivates IBM to port OOREXX. It is a waste of IBM manpower because it was designed for UNIX with very limited address environments and a small user community which means it's usefulness is very limited. E.g. It's certainly better than shell scripts but it hasn't replaced them. Then comes the question about integration which I'm guessing doesn't include automatic integration with SAP, PeopleSoft, various databases and much more. z/OS REXX on the other hand automatically integrates into most available environments. IBM REXX was never designed to build complicated applications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
