Line 31:
:: Yes, I forgot that the CMS and TSO REXXes aren't ANSI compliant. The backslash (\) is supposed to be accepted as an alternative to the not (⌐) character, but apparently nobody in IBM land is inclined to change it. Now, the IBM and CMS versions do accept the forward slash (/) so you can specify '''j/==qqq''' for instance, but Regina refuses to honor that version (the forward slash). PC/REXX, R4, and ROO do support the forward slash in comparisons. So right now, there is no way to make a Regina REXX (source) program completely portable (to IBM mainframes) when you want to use a not symbol in a comparison. Of course, you could use compound IF-THEN-NOP-ELSE type construct. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 08:46, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:: I should also mention that Regina REXX doesn't honor the not (⌐) symbol, but PC/REXX, R4, and ROO do. I would like to know if NetRexx, ooRexx, CRX, AREXX, BREXX, and others support that characger. Perhaps if someone could chime in who know those interpreters. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 08:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
