Yes.
There I also read:
Continuation
REXX allows implicit continuation; a statement is treated as continued
if it
would otherwise be syntactically invalid. ...

Not in any Rexx I know. Is this perhaps a peculiarity of OS/2 Rexx?
And C has an improper GOTO. It allows branching into a block. It's
implementation
dependent whether initializations are performed then. Ugh!
