::::I don't know REXX and its versions, but it seems that if this has been debated before and their is no resolution as yet then may I suggest that REXX ooREXX and netREXX etc be treated as separate languages the way the BASICs are? With separate Category: pages that might want to add that the other versions should be checked for compatability notices. If someone knows for example, that an ooREXX solution works for REXX then maybe they could add that as a note in the ooREXX solution. The idea being to have the REXXs have solutions where it would become common for people to add notes on what happened when they tried it on another version of REXX.
::::If it is possible to modify one version to work on multiple versions - and you check that it does; then this should be noted too.<br> Just a thought. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 14:11, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
:::::;The Rexx programs that carry my name should work on all REXXes ( I cannot test them on others since I don't have any other - I had TSO Rexx till 12/2012)
Many of GS's REXX programs won't work on ooRexx because they use the things I mentioned: $ etc. as variable names and x= instead of x='' for assignment of the null string. When I try one of these programs I make the necessary little changes (c/$/d/* * and add the '') and I am off (and learn a lot from them)
I dare not alter these programs though on rosetta (In one instance Gerard did it). And as already said: I see the proper place for my Rexx programs that don't use oo under REXX and those that do under ooRexx. By the way, I suggest that you look a little into Rexx, if I may. It's one of the best languages! --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 15:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
