Subject: Simple Rexx question


Hello Everyone,
      
      I have been working with REXX but I am not getting this very simple REXX.
 
      This is TDATE EXEC.
 
/* REXX TDATE EXEC */              
TEMP = DATE('B','27 MAY 1996',)    
SAY TEMP                           
exit                     
 
This is the results.
 
tdate                                                                     
     2 +++ TEMP = DATE('B','27 MAY 1996',)                                
DMSREX475E Error 40 running TDATE EXEC, line 2: Incorrect call to routine 
Ready(20040); T=0.01/0.01 11:50:32                                        
 
      What am I doing wrong?  (it has to be simple!)
