Note: ~~7.5e4~~ or ~~75e3~~ ~~are~~ ~~also~~ accepted as 75000!

Note:   all of the following would be accepted as being numerically equal to   '''75000''':

:*   '''7.5E+0004'''

⚫

<lang rexx>/*REXX ~~pgm~~ prompts ~~and~~ ~~gets~~ a string and also the # 75000 from terminal.*/

:*   '''75000.'''

say 'Please enter a string:'; parse pull userString

:*   '''750000e-01'''

say 'You entered this string:' userString /* show it on the console */

;*   '''000075000.0000'''

⚫

/* [↑] string ~~can~~ be ~~any length~~.*/

:*       ''' 75000 '''           (with leading and/or trailing blanks)

⚫

do until userNumber=75000 /*repeat this loop until ~~correct~~.*/

:*   and others

⚫

say /*display blank line to terminal.*/

⚫

say 'Please enter the number 75000' /*display a nice prompt message. */

If the intent was to have the user enter the string exactly as   '''75000''',

⚫

parse pull userNumber /*obtain the user text from ~~term~~.*/

<br>then the REXX   '''do'''   statement should be replaced with:

⚫

end /*until ~~···~~ */ /*check if the response is ~~legit~~.*/

do until userNumber==75000

⚫

/*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/</lang>

⚫

<lang rexx>/*REXX program prompts & reads/obtains a string, and also the number 75000 from terminal*/

say 'Please enter a string:' /*issue a prompt message to the term. */

parse pull userString /*the (char) string can be any length. */

⚫

/* [↑] the string could be null/empty.*/

⚫

do until userNumber=75000 /*repeat this loop until satisfied. */

⚫

say /*display a blank line to the terminal.*/

⚫

say 'Please enter the number 75000' /*display a nice prompt message to term*/

⚫

parse pull userNumber /*obtain the user text from terminal. */

⚫

end /*until*/ /*check if the response is legitimate. */

⚫

/*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */</lang>
