Line 207:
So the major hangup here is the use of assignment without righthandside
and second comes the use of symbols (symbol characters that ooRexx does not support.
Fixing these would be easy and allow for stating that "all Rexx programs shown here can run under ooRexx". A statement I would love to make.
ooRexx IS a grandchild of original Rexx because it was raised in the IBM family.
Now it has found a new home in RexxLA and is open source, free, stable and top quality.

Again a long story not addressing the points that I made:
Changed the program to the worse (for ooRexx by changing a reasonable name to a
characted not supported by ooRexx.
I had the time and the inclination to test (some of) your programs with ooRexx
and have shown the results.
SCRSIZE: of course you said that. My point: All 40 programs work on ooRexx unchanged or
with minimal changes @->a #->n $->d
It's your choice to insist on using @ and # and $ forever.
And I end the analysis now.
