Reserved Verbs (and sub-Keywords, and other tokens)

[ThSITC]

Long time ago, I wrote a simple NetRexx method:

class ... dont care

method extstr(mystring, from, to) returns Rexx

loop i=from to to
    ... do something
end

********* *MOST intersestingly ***************

1.) The Keyowrd *to* in the loop statement (although followed by a
blank, and thus
must be a KEYWORD) , is no longer recoginzed (as a keyword)! :-(

2.) No NetRexxxC Compiler warnings at all  have been issued :-(.

Discussed this (8 years ago) with MFC.

So what?

What do you say?
Thomas.

PS: Meanwhile, of course, I did recognize that it MIGHT be very
dangerous ....
Reason is that current NetRexxC obvioulsy has NO SCOPE in seraching for
symbols!

... End of (my) (his)story in using NetRexx!
....... But I do love it (except some *obvious pitfalls* :-()   :-(
