NetRexx 1.121

[Mike Cowlishaw-3]

NetRexx 1.121 is now available from the NetRexx servers.  The changes
are minor, as follows:

  * The new experimental 'comments' option copies comments from the
    NetRexx source program through to the .java output file, which may
    be saved using the 'keep' command option.

  * Decimal addition has been updated to conform to ANSI X3-274
    arithmetic and the NetRexx documentation (this is a very minor
    change: an addition such as 77+1E-999 now pads with zeros).

  * An abstract method in an abstract class was incorrectly reported as
    an error.

  * Minor improvements to error messages, formatting, and performance.

Well... I think there was a fast one pulled on me... But it was a good one
none the less...


WingSoft at www.wingsoft.com now has a 30 Day Demo of WingEditor for NetRexx
for public consumption. Be aware, this is an early release of newly developing
code and as such has a few limitations and probably bugs.

Mike... How long have you known of this one?? <G>

Anyway, thanks for helping these guys out. I now have one best java programming
languages and a IDE for it! Life is good.

I downloaded WingEditor for NetRexx on Saturday and started evaluating it.
I noticed a couple of problems with the Search and Replace dialogs and
reported these to WingSoft.  On Sunday morning I received an e-mail from
WingSoft stating that they had fixed the problems and there was an updated
version available on their Web site.  Sure enough, they had the problems
fixed.

I think WingEditor for NetRexx is an excellent start and I like the fact
that it's written in Java.  With a response like they exhibited,  WingSoft
gets my money.  They appear to be taking NetRexx very seriously.

Greetings fellow NetRexx'ers,

I'm wondering if anyone has been impacted by the following exception.  I get an  ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException when using code like...

say aString.substr(10,4)

if aString's length is less than 10.  So to get around this I use...

if aString.length() > 9
  then say aString.substr(10,4)

or

say aString.left(13).substr(10,4)

needless to say this clutters up my code.  I've become accustomed to Rexx simply returning spaces when the
start position for the substring operation is greater than the length of the string being substringed.  How do others handle this situation?

Respectfully,

I had that problem too (jdk114, nrx120).
I used java.lang.String as a workaround and
just forgot to report the problem to this list.

best regards,
