When asked by my 2nd level supervisor, I glady wrote some games on my own time in EXEC2, a language on the VM/CMS

Note: the above section was re-added and slightly re-formated as I had to retrieve it with cut and paste from my E-mail reader via Rosetta Code's notification of changes. I left the original timestamps intact. All the original line-ends (newLines) [if any] have been lost. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 14:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

:: The removal of the '''S''' subroutine wasn't being questioned, only the comment on the example page for REXX version 2 saying that the version 1 code didn't work for all plurals. It was asked if it could fail for the program as coded (for bulls and cows). It wasn't stated anywhere that it worked for all plurals. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 14:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Actually the change of ? to qq was NOT necessary. ? IS allowed on TSO. However, I never use(d) it.
