Ok here is another fun example: 1 #!/usr/bin/rexx 2 in. =''; 3 address hostemu TS 4 address hostemu 'execio * diskr "./Test.txt" (finis stem in.' 5 say in.0 6 say in.0 7 address hostemu TE 8 ::requires "hostemu” LIBRARY
When run it produces the following (Note, I change the value of the variable
in.0);
pi@RPI2B1 ~ $ /usr/bin/rexx test.rexx
+++ "Linux COMMAND /home/pi/test.rexx"
4 *-* address hostemu 'execio * diskr "./Test.txt" (finis stem in.'
>>> "execio * diskr "./Test.txt" (finis stem in."
+++ Interactive trace. "Trace Off" to end debug, ENTER to Continue. +++
5 *-* say in.0
>>> "5"
5
IN.0=6
6 *-* say in.0
>>> "6"
6
7 *-* address hostemu TE
>>> "TE"
