demo of NetRexx IDE

[Chip Davis-2]

We are looking for someone to do a short demonstration of NetRexx
application development tools for the Rexx Symposium.  We've got
several Object Rexx IDE demos lined up, and it would be nice to show
off NetRexx too.

Mike feels that VisualAge for NetRexx will not be ready for prime
time, and I personally know of no one who has had the time to
explore devPad or Visual NetRexx.  Those are the only ones I know of,
are there any other IDEs for NetRexx?

I you think you might be interested in doing a short (an hour or so)
demonstration of one or several NetRexx application development
tools (we're not talking in-depth, here, just show off some of the
neat features for cranking out code) please contact me for more
details.

For more information about the Ninth International Rexx Symposium,
check out the Rexx Language Association webpage at www.rexxla.org or
contact [hidden email] if you have questions.

Thanks,

-Chip Davis-

WINGEDIT is an excellent IDE that understands NetRexx. Their homepage is at
www.wingsoft.com. Real nice people there...

Anyone else here writing text mode applications using NetRexx?  I'd like to
compare notes and bugs in writing CLI, NR1130 and JDK114+031998.

Anyone?

Basically, I'd like to work out a problem of my apps loosing STDIN on occasion.
I'm convinced it's a JDK problem, but I'd like to compare notes.

Compiling this this script to test.class:

-- Test Script
--
--
  say'Enter some text'                -- prompt the user
  text=ask                            -- get his/her input
  say''                               -- space it out
  say'You entered this text:' text    -- parrot the text

In OS/2, if the above script is run via "JAVA -NORESTART TEST" the screen is
updated, but no keyboard input is accepted. If I run it via "JAVA test", and
clicking from the PM to the running app, it will accept input just fine.

I have set the environment variable JAVA_CONSOLE to "JAVA_CONSOLE=" and it
still looses STDIN. Running a Java program (not written via NetRexx) shows the
same results.

Aside from this last bug-a-boo, the JDK114 with the 031998 updat has been nearly
flawless.

Ahh, Thanks for the backup, Tony. No, I haven't had the need to toggle anything
in system.properties, so I've left alone. You think, maybe, something is
getting touched by the "-norestart" switch? That'll make interesting
programming... <G>

Also, sorry for causing so much confusion over there. <G> It's only a text mode
app... <G>

Hi NetRexxers,
If I could find someone who can answer my humble NetRexx question.

In Basic , I could

LET a=2
LET b=3
CALL CALC(a, b, added, substracted)
PRINT added, substracted


In C, I could

calc(2, 3, &added, &substs)

or something like that.


I can do with only one return value in NetRexx, but with more than one
return values,

added=calc(2,3)
say added

could someone help me?

May not be the best way, but the following comes to mind:

parse value calc(2, 3) with added subtracted
