guaranteed access to the Environment object? 0 34 (3/11/2011 8:27:48 PM) comp.lang.rexx The discussion of .local got me playing with conflicts with environment symbols to find out just how dangerous I could be. Overriding class names is fun: .local~directory = .stem x = .directory~new Say ... Glenn

left() : substring() :: right() : ? 9 39 (2/16/2011 5:22:31 PM) comp.lang.rexx What's your favorite idiom to chop a number of characters off the right-hand end of a string? Is there anything tidier than Left(string, Length(string)-n)? Certainly not Reverse(Substr(Reverse(string), n+1)).... Glenn

Variables names 16 50 (8/17/2012 6:00:07 PM) comp.lang.rexx I am working my way through my Classic Rexx execs trying to get them to work with ooRexx. The buggest obstacle so far is the loss of "#" in variable names. In just one exec with over 6K lines, there were over... JenMurphy1 (60)

"execs" or "scripts" 26 70 (8/21/2012 4:31:29 PM) comp.lang.rexx I notice that most people call the Rexx routines "scripts". I come from an old VM/CMS and MVS/TSO world where they were called "execs". I have to admit that "scripts" kinda grates on my ears (eyes?) a bit. ... JenMurphy1 (60)
