Check out 'strict' and 'normal' comparative operators in the Language Reference :
abc = 'ABC' edf = 'EDF' if abc < edf then do say abc 'is less than 'edf end if 'ABC' < 'abc' then do say 'ABC is less than abc' end else if 'ABC' > 'abc' then do say 'abc is less than ABC' end else do say 'ABC is abc' end if 'ABC' << 'abc' then do say 'ABC is less than abc' end else if 'ABC' >> 'abc' then do say 'abc is less than ABC' end else do say 'ABC is abc' end if 'ABC' = 'abc' then say 'ABC is abc' if 'ABC' == 'abc' then say 'ABC is abc' -- Marc On 06/07/2017 04:54 PM, FreeFall wrote: > Thanks.

I wish to compare two rexx strings (alphabetic data) to see which is more alphabetically higher than the other. It is easy to test whether two strings have equal alphabetical order because the strings (in this case) will be identical. I could cheat and create a numeric value for each string (as a proxy) and compare the numbers, but I’d hope there was a more elegant (more direct) solution. Ideas? I’m a novice, so please assume I know nothing about NetRexx (but I do know rexx). > > Connor. > >> On 6 Jun 2017, at 20:51, alansam [via ibm-netrexx] <[hidden email]> wrote: >> >> Java does not search PATH for jar files they typically need to be listed in the CLASSPATH env. variable. >> >> As your posting indicates that your NetRexx sours is in the same location as the NetRexxF.jar try this: >> >> cd /Users/CB1/Dropbox/Programming/NetRexx/NetRexx-3.05GA/lib >> java -jar ./NetRexxF.jar GenerateCombinations >> >> >> On 6 June 2017 at 09:02, FreeFall <[hidden email] <x-msg://2/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4027942&i=0>> wrote: >> I receive the same message, but I'm and OS X user. >> >> Things seem to be in the right place: >> >> ==> ls /Users/CB1/Dropbox/Programming/NetRexx/NetRexx-3.05GA/lib >> GenerateCombinations.nrx NetRexxF.jar >> NetRexxC.jar ecj-4.6.3.jar >> >> ==> echo "$PATH" >> /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin:/Users/CB1/Dropbox/Programming/NetRexx/NetRexx-3.05GA/lib >> >> But: >> ==> java -jar NetRexxF.jar GenerateCombinations >> Error: Unable to access jarfile NetRexxF.jar >> >> I know nothing about unix/bash, so if I need to enter any commands into the >> terminal, please give precise instructions.
