Betreff: [Oorexx-users] How to use HI, TS and TE in *nix (bash)

The Rexx Extensions Library Reference (sort of) documents the HI, TS
and TE immediate commands (syntax only) but does not explain how they are
used.
When a Rexx program is running and I type TS on the command line the
system does not recognize it.  I get one of two messages:

   sh: TS: command not found
which is output from bash if I type it on the console where
the Rexx program is running; or

   If 'ts' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the 
package
that contains it, like this:
cnf ts
if I type the command on another console.

Prefacing it with 'rexx' does not help.  So, how are these used in
the *nix environment?

Wasn’t it HI = hold immediate or interpretation

TS Trace start

TE Trace end

?

Hi,

  HI, TS, and TE


 I remember those vaguely from VM/CMS (sort of extinct)
 A dino:
 Walter (not yet extinct)

The VM/CMS commands were HX (halt execution) and HT (halt type).  You used them 
with the #CP ATTN command and/or have the CMS set attn on set.  These existed 
well before Rexx and had nothing to do with it.

I don't recognize HI, TS, and TE and suspect they're Linux related and not for 
ooRexx on Windows, VM/CMS, etc.

As for VM being extinct, IMHO, its not . . . It is in two forms . . . for 
companies ... it is part of the hardware and for guys like us (at least me), it 
is VM/370 the original version.  Sigh, I wish IBM would release the 30 year old 
version of VM into the public domain (e.g. VM/BSP, VM/SP, VM/XA, maybe even 
VM/ESA).  After all its not making money from them and allowing people to run 
it on their Windows / Linux systems at home wouldn't hurt their profits.  It 
might even be a positive PR step.

Sorry, I can't help more.

Bert (also not yet extinct).

Re: [Oorexx-users] Recommendation for moving from Procedural REXX to Object Oriented REXX

2014-05-12 Thread Walter Pachl
And there is, of course, Rony’s book: Introduction to Rexx and ooRexx.

See also one of my first attempts at rosettacode.org (trigonometric functions)

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions#ooRexx

defining a class, methods, and routines

Criticism/comments/error reports welcome

Betreff: [Oorexx-users] Recommendation for moving from Procedural REXX to 
Object Oriented REXX

 

I know I admitted it awhile back, but not very loudly and certainly not in 
anyway suggesting I want to change, but . . . The time is approach, I figure I 
should start the learning process to move from procedural REXX to object 
oriented REXX, which isn't just learning ooREXX, but also learning object 
oriented programming (properly).

Thus I'm asking . . . what is the best way for a guy with 30+ years of 
procedural programming who is on disability to learn to program the object 
oriented way.  I'm open to learning it via Java, which I'm sure I should learn 
anyway, but I also want to keep going with REXX, too. :-)

Thank you!

Bert.
