Line 61:
: It depends what REXX implementation (and/or which REXX language definition) you're referring to: TRL1, TRL2, ANSI REXX standard, what the IBM (CMS and/or TSO gold standard) does, etc. Or you could change the question slightly and ask which REXX interpreter does or doesn't have the '''changestr''' bif. This would be a good subject when discussing different (levels or implementations) of various REXX interpreters, but that would be a lengthy topic (or essay), but I'm not sure that information would be appropriate or valuable on Rosetta Code. But I certainly wouldn't stop anyone from attempting it. Collecting all that information from the numerous Classic REXX implementations would be daunting and time consuming. I wonder how many AREXX and/or OS/2 users are out there. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 08:23, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
:: As an aside, if Rosetta Code ever changes it ways and somehow lets me add new pages and/or links without that painful Captcha verification "system", I'll rename all the entries that don't seem to fit the Rosetta Code naming convention (including the '''changestr''' REXX subroutine). As it is (and I've mentioned it elsewhere on various Rosetta Code locations), and for whatever reason, I (and others) have a painful (and time consuming) time getting the information to be displayed correctly (or in my case, not displayed at all). What I have to do is wait for some amount of time, usually forcing me to shutdown all other windows (ugh), and then request an audible prompt, then ignore the gawd-awful sounds (more noise than anything), and then request a typed prompt. "Replay" doesn't work. This jig has to be repeated a number of times. Now THAT is something to sigh about. It usually takes me anywhere from a ¼ hour to an ½ hour, sometimes more if there are other updates being done to the same page. This is the main reason that I've stopped entering Rosetta Code (draft) tasks. And don't get me started on adding/changing/correcting a link. Sheesh. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 08:43, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
<br>Why do you ever so often say "some REXXes~ don't contain... CHANGESTR," for example?
