>> Implicit allowance of function-orinted notation
>> -----------------------------------------------
>>
>> Key: NETREXX-26
>> URL:
https://kenai.com/jira/browse/NETREXX-26>> Project: netrexx
>> Issue Type: Improvement
>> Reporter: Thomas.Schneider.Wien
>>
>> The Translator should be enhanced (upgraded) to allow function oriented NOTATION
>> to OBJECT oriented notation implicitly, with the following CONVENTIONS:
>> a) When NO object instance is used in the current source pattern, but simply a so called
>> FUNCTION invocation (specified as a method in any/all USES clauses in the proper CLASS
>> statement)
>> Then: The FIRST argument should be treated as the OBJECT's ID (when an Object)
>> *and*, internally to the Translator (Parser) this NOTATION should be re-arranged
>> internally to the more modern object oriented NOTATION.
>> As far as I see from my own work, there are ONLY a VERY few exceptions to this
>> basic rule (at least for classic Rexx --> NetRexx (Rexx2Nrx)
>> b) this NEW NOTATION RULE should be documented ONCE forever (ONCE) in nrl4.pdf
>> c) This would dimishish needs for my Rexx2Nrx, but would allow ancient classic Rexx programmers,
>> and also old PL/I or whatever programmers, to get aquainted with oo-style programming more quickly.
