Other instructions from Rexx


This lists the Rexx keyword instructions or variations that are not included in NetRexx, with NetRexx equivalents where appropriate.

  ADDRESS -- no equivalent concept.

ARG -- obsolete; arguments are now defined on METHOD instructions.

CALL -- use a method invocation clause "term(...)". Any result is discarded.

CALL ON/OFF -- replaced by exception handlers (CATCH).

DO repetition-count -- use LOOP FOR.

DROP -- no direct equivalent; use assignment of 'null' for non-primitive classes.

INTERPRET -- no equivalent.

NUMERIC FUZZ -- rarely used in Rexx; however, it could be added if demand warranted.

PROCEDURE -- replaced by METHOD (local variables are automatically hidden; property variables are EXPOSEd automatically)

PULL -- use the keyword ASK with parse, or use Java input streams directly.

PUSH and QUEUE -- not part of the language; no 'external data queue' concept.

SIGNAL ON/OFF -- replaced by exception handlers (CATCH).
