::::::::: Perhaps the phrase ''tongue in check'' isn't that well known or understood on the other side of the pond. I didn't mean for the error(s) to be posted, it was to show that a Classic REXX program being executed by ooREXX may (or may not) be execute correctly; hence, there is an ooRexx language section for executing the ooRexx interpreter. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:02, 13 September 2014 (UTC) |

Let's get back to square zero (or rather column 1 here. |
|||
<br>I DO understand "tongue in cheek" |
|||
(never heard of "tongue in check" :-) and in better times I have corrected your spelling errors |
|||
and/or typos). |
|||
Adding ooRexx output for version 1 demonstrates clearly the point of this task and the |
|||
thousands of lines we spent on "discussing" that matter. |
|||
<br>Let's try to get to some common view. |
|||
<br>The REXX Language Section is the place to show REXX programs solving a given task. |
|||
One may show results with any Rexx interpreter or compiler. |
|||
Results from other interpreters can and should be shown where this makes sense. |
|||
<br>Not to permit what ooRexx does with a Rexx program is unacceptable. |
|||
(showing what PL/I does with such a program does not make sense.) |
|||
Ideal REXX programs (my definition) are those that concentrate on the task and give identical results |
|||
for all REXXes. Sadly many of the programs you added and still add aren't ideal in this sense. Mine are.--[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 06:21, 14 September 2014 (UTC) |
