m (NevilleDNZ moved page Calendar - for "real" programmers to Calendar - for "REAL" programmers: Somehow - in concordance to the tongue-in-cheek nature of this page - a page rename seems like a REAL good idea.)

Line 1,007:
This is essentially the same REXX program as for the CALENDAR task, but written entirely in uppercase. Indeed,
<br>it could be written without any Latin (or any language) letters of any kind for the REXX program's variables.
 
<br><br>From the task's description, I took it to mean the program was to be in all uppercase, but the output was
<br>still supposed to look pretty (that is, partly in lowercase). Even so, on the (line) printers that were used
<br>long ago, the printers (if not supporting lowercase), would print lowercase as uppercase (with the FOLD option).
 
<br><br>The other REXX program made use of lowercase letters for determining the minimum length of any of the options
<br>(from the command line), and a few simple tricks were used to accomplish this.
<br>[Note: the command line may also be all uppercase.]
 
<br><br>In any case, both versions of the programs' output are identical (but the second REXX version sure as heck looks
<br>like it was beat with a big ole ugly stick ─── and pardon the strong language).
