I'm not too sure what do with this one. There are a number of APIs that have basically no meaning at all in the 4.0 world, and this is one of them. There are others such as RexxTerminate() and RexxWaitForTermination() that were part of the documented APIs. These have been now stubbed off and are nops and are documented as deprecated. The line in the sand we've drawn so far has been to support documented APIs, but if you've used undocumented ones, well, tough.
RexxShutdown() falls into the undocumented category. It would be trivial to stub it out and make it a NOP, but there are lots of other undocumented bits that can't really work that way and there will be absolutely no attempt to get them working in 4.0. My gut feeling is we should say "no" to this requested, but I'm willing to go with whatever the consensus is.

Category: APIs Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jean-Noel Guillerme (guillerme) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ooRexx 4.0: RexxShutdownAPI missing from rxapi.dll Initial Comment: Hi, we have a C++ application using the rexx API. This program uses the function rexxShutdownAPI. It seems this function is not supported in oorexx 4.0. Would it be however possible to maintain it for binary compatibility ? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684730&aid=2779503&group_id=119701 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
