Finally have a chance to add my thoughts on this. When I read the
reference on DO OVER, I would not expect an UNKNOWN method to satisfy
the required condition so, to me, this is not a bug. However, I can see
the that the opposite view might have some merit. I would suggest
opening an RFE inst

DO...OVER for
java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Enumeration, java.util.Collection,
java.util.Iterator and
java.util.Map to make it transparent for Rexx programmers what kind of a Java
collection is
