Re: [JIRA] Commented: (NETREXX-48) The implicit conversion from Java Strings to Rexx Strings sometime fails

[ThSITC]

Hello Kermit,

(*and* all)

I did get this error while changing my source to:

OPTION BINARY

I do propose (herewith) a new OPTION COMPATIBLE

which, when used, should SURROUND any and all instances of former
Rexx Variables (declared whatsoever) by the Rexx constructor.

The options would be in the MIDDLE of Rexx (NetRexx) *and BINARY*

It will, course, need the Rexx Class to be loaded.

I'm *not* sure whether w should call this COMPILER/INTERPRETER
option COMPATIBLE.

But it might introduce a third level (between Rexx and Binary) , which
is needed  (as I think so)!

Thomas Schneider.

May  I add, plesse

*That*

In my nearly never ending desire to promote *NetRexx * as *The best ever
designed Language I do know (thans, Mike!) * )))))))))))))))))))

.. it is my special *MESSAGE TO YOU ALL*!


Do you know, that, meanwhile. you can translate COBOL and/or PL/I
to NetRexx???
