Packages

See also the section in the installation document about compiling multiple
source files at once -- the setup described there is also recommended as
'general practice'.

Thank you, Mike! I didn't recall that section and when I reviewed it and
made the necessary changes, the issue was resolved.
In addition, in this same note I'd like to share with the other list
members some things I've observed from working with packages:

 o Although it sure may get complex at times, I've found it helpful to
   just remember the basics--classes are searched for
   - in the current directory
   - in location(s) specified in the classpath
   - in any relative locations indicated by IMPORT statements

 o Be careful with paths!
   I discovered that for example, 'abc.myClass' is NOT the same as
   say, 'xyz.abc.myClass', so that for Java to be able to find the
   latter class, I had to change my IMPORT statements to read...

     import xyz.abc.myClass

   and not

     import abc.myClass

Well, I finally got the Pentium box that I requisitioned a few months ago
and now I've got a small problem.

I really hope I'm not pestering with this, but do you think it's at all
possible to add a "-pauseonerror" switch to the NetRexx compiler command line?

Between my old eyes and faster silicon, those compiler warnings are hard to
see and... pipeing to file is cumbersome. After all, you have to wait for the
compiler to finish, before you can see if there's any errors...

Just a suggestion...

How about piping to more...

Pipeing to more work just fine. However, if you get lots and lots of "normal"
screen updates, it can be a chore hitting more... more... more...

A simple switch, -PAUSEONERROR, would be terrific. You could use -PAUSEONEERROR5
causing the compiler to pause on all errors and warnings and maybe a
-PAUSEONERROR0 to cause the compiler to not pause on anything... with varying
levels inbetween.

The problem with PAUSEONERROR is that there's no reliable way (in
general) to decide how often to pause.

In 1.140 I've added a -savelog compiler option -- this writes
standard compiler output to a file, so you can always go back and
read the output from the last compile; hope that helps!

Accepted.

It does in deed. I've been able to clean up my rexx scripts and over all
just imporved the way everything runs. Thanks!

As for the speed improvement I read about. I haven't seen it and I'm not a
bit worried about it. Since it seems to be related to how long the classpath
statement is... the classpath on my dev machine is probably the
shortest one of all that subscribes to this list.<G>

Cheers, Mike.
