I originally did this but got into trouble with my indexed variables. I
declared them as:
-- 4. Assign properties.
Properties Public
optionLine = Rexx[]
-- 5. Main method (ignored when loaded by a browser).
method main(argstrings=String[]) public static
arg=Rexx(argstrings)
with the keyword STATIC in the main method I received compile errors
saying I could not reference non-static method OPTIONLINE directly
from a in a static method.
So I took STATIC out and changed STRING[] to REXX[]. (if STRING[] was
left in it method main defaulted to STATIC.) It compiled but obviously
did not work.
I did find that if I declare main as everyone suggested, got rid of
properties and rearranged the declarations as:
-- 5. Main method (ignored when loaded by a browser).
method main(argstrings=String[]) public static
arg=Rexx(argstrings)
optionLine = Rexx[]
parse arg ........
everything worked. So... I guess this has something to do with the
scope of declared variables ? Does netrexx recognize such a thing as a
global declaration or do variables always have to be passed between
functions as arguments ?
