Because stem.{expr} = 3 means "evaluate expr, and use it as a subscript
to stem.", and VALUE('stem.'expr)=3 means "evaluate a string expression,
and work out which variable it refers to, parsing it into an array/
subscript reference if necessary." Extra time. Sure, a good compiler with
a VALUE BIF could optimise it, but it would have to be intelligent.

I've always wanted a.x _not_ to evaluate x, i.e. to use x as a field name,
just as in C, PL/1 etc. I'm quite happy to write

  do i=1 to 10
    a.{i} = i     /* or even a.(i) = i */
    end i

Suddenly it all becomes much cleaner and more intuitive, at the expense
of a tiny bit of extra verbosity. Being incompatible, it would require a
language statement (pragma?) to enable it, but I can live with that.

Does anyone know of a pure REXX program that allows data comm

not make use of a called C program to handle the actual IO?

I have some experience with REXX on IBM VM/CMS. The programming constructs

differently.

As an illustration of this point, I'll append the external REXX function
SCREENSZ. (If you know it alreadly, skip this note gently.)  SCREENSZ
will run both with Personal REXX under MS-DOS (or PC-DOS) and with
CMS REXX under all VM flavours. You can easily extend it to cover more
REXX implementations. For some systems, you will need a PARSE VERSION (or
similar) statement in addition to the PARSE SOURCE, or other means
suitable to discriminate between various REXX implementations; of course,
such additional statements will have to go into the appropriate branches
of the select clause (below), as they are system-dependent.

SCREENSZ also illustrates how to cope with various modes of invocation
(such as a REXX function invocation vs. a host command invocation).

Happy programming,

REXX programs should be completely transportable between any platforms
that support REXX, if the interpreter is up to standards.  The catch is
that many mainframe REXX programs use operating system services, some
of which may not be available on another platform.
 
For example, to erase a file in CMS, I would say "ERASE TEMP FILE A".
In MS-DOS, it would be "DELETE TEMP.FIL".  In UNIX, I presume
there is a completely different syntax.   Careful programming can make
some of these problems less burdensome, but cannot completely eliminate
them.
 
I know of no process that addresses these migration issues.  If one
exists, I am *sure* someone will correst me.

You may find it difficult to transport your CMS code to OS/2.
Most CMS REXX programs use CMS commands such as EXECIO, CMSPIPEs
etc. for I/O plus a whole bunch of CMS functions and other routines. 

You may be able to re-use the NON-I/O portions of the code, however :-)

I doubt you will find a program which will convert CMS I/O and other
CMS functions to OS/2.  Until you find such a wonderful tool, you will
have to edit and reuse to best suit your needs.

I know I'm late with this, but anyway...

I second Otto's request of a more general handling of word-delimiting
characters in word-delimiting operations.

I don't want to cause a new flame-war or revitalize the old one, just
add an idea.

If the language definition is extended or refined to allow a more
general set of word-delimiting characters, it could be useful for the
REXX program to determine that set. There could be an additional
keyword for the PARSE instruction or a built-in function, whichever fits
into the existing language better; this function or keyword could be
named BLANK or WHITESPACE or whatever is most intuitive.

Assuming it is a function named BLANK, BLANK() could return all
word-delimiting characters, and perhaps BLANK("S") (for Single or
Standard) could return the standard pad character used by the
character-oriented functions. Additionally, it could be defined that
LEFT(BLANK(), 1) == LEFT('', 1), that is, == BLANK('S').

Just some thoughts.

Best wishes,

Horst

Porting Mainframe REXX to OS/2:  If you want EXECIO and GLOBALV and
all your CMS favorites, they are in Personal REXX for OS/2, which also
has a great library.  Order from Quercus Systems, Box 2157, Saratoga CA
95070.  I dunno how much it costs.  I have no financial connection with
them, but am definitely a happy user.
