Dear Glenn, I do not get the same results as you, not on Windows and not on macOS, I get The NIL object rather than „5“. Are you still referring to ooRexx 5.0.0?
macOS: po@POs-16-Core-Pro ~ % rexx -e ".local~1e = 12;say .local~1e-3 .local~1e -3" The NIL object 9 po@POs-16-Core-Pro ~ % Windows 10, 64 bit, current build of ooRexx5.0.0: C:\Users\po\workspace>rexx -e ".local~1e = 12;say .local~1e-3 .local~1e -3" The NIL object 9 rexxtry.rex: Enter 'exit' to end. Or '?' for online REXX help. .local~1e = 12;say .local~1e-3 .local~1e -3 The NIL object 9 ........................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT .local~1e -3 comes out as 12-3 = 9 as expected, what do you think .local~1e-3 mean? It looks as the item 3 steps before 1e to me (which is not defined) Maybe someone can explain what is going on here? Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O.
