NetRexx PARSE Instrruction limitations

[ThSITC]

Hello Rene,
    as far as I can remember from very early tests I did years ago (2001),
when developing Rexx2Nrx, the NetRexx PARSE instruction:

     1.) does NOT accept subscripted Indexed strings in the template
     2.) does ONLY accept STRING (Java STRING or NetRexx REXX String)
as the targets in the PARSE instruction Template.

I did, at those times, solve problem (1) above by generated Temporary
Variables.

Did not invest any time into  (2), as classic Rexx does not have any
BINARY types at all.

Maybe (most probably) something like GetBytes(ifrom, ithru), with ifrom,
ithru being the integer Positions of start and end might be more
appropriate?

I'm awaiting other responses (from Mike??) to your original question!

Thomas.
