Rexx2Nrx: Maintaining the generalized LOG File ...

[ThSITC]

I'm currently in the so long time announced process to release the new
version of Rexx2Nrx,
my ancient *classic Rexx to NetRexx* converter (see www.Rexx2Nrx.com)

Whilst Rexx2Nrx has been originally written in *IBM Compiled Rexx*
(using the IBM Rexx Compiler),
with *lots* of so called *INCLUDED FILES* (denoted by the cryptic
'/*%include options*/' , for instance,
all of those former *included Files* are now proper NetRexx Classes.

One of the major problems I did face, long time ago, I think early 2000,
has been:

a) that the local language *glyphs* for operatos have been different in
each country, e.g.
a simple *german Rexx* program did *not compile* in Spain, or other
Europe countries,
as GERMAN REXX did use '!' as the OR-Operaor, for instance, ...

b) When using any INCLUDE FILES in IBM COMPILED REXX, the IBM REXX
INTERPRETER
did NOT process those as expected, at all (as they have been regarded as
comments by the INTERPRETER)

... all of that code is now PURE NETREXX.

as you can see from my ancient www.Rexx2Nrx.com, I did always *maintain
a so called*
LOG-File, capturing any&all so-called info/warning/error etc messages.

With option -QUIET you have ben always been able to *process Rexx2Nrx*,
without
getting all those details to the CONSOLE.

The former implementation did use a (potentially recursive) usage of
RexxFile and RexxMsg.

In order to remove this mutual DEPENDENCY, in the new release, I did

GOOGLE

Java Log

(listen, listen, Rick, et all) <grin> ;-)

AND DID FIND NOWADAYS AVAILABLE java methods  TO MAINTAIN A log FILE:

Now, my question(s) (as usual):

(a)  Is this LOGGING mechanism already implemented in NetRexxC ?
(b) Does anybody of you already did use it?
(c) when Yes, would you send to me a small program skeleton (sample)

Thanks in advance, as always,

Thomas.
