kenai down

I have difficulty to connect to kenai - which is rather annoying around a releasedate. Anyone else the same problem?

Re: kenai down

If you also think that this takes too long to fix, be advised that:

svn co https://svn.netrexx.org/svn/netrexx~netrexxc-repo .

still works.

Re: kenai down

Yes, as the hostname does not correspond to the certificate; for this reason the netrexx.org site tells one to accept the certificate anyway.

Re: Is this manual obsolete?

I just downloaded the RedBook and I don't see a "this.List(5)" anywhere in the document, so you may have a transcription error. I think the code should just be:

LstWho = List(5) -- define a List Box

While IBM dropped native support for Java on VM some time ago, the basic principles described in the RedBook are probably still good with regard to NetRexx programing; albeit a little outdated. Based on the date of the publication however some things in Java itself have changed so you'll probably get a name collision with the java.util.List class and the java.awt.List class too. Try adding:

import java.awt.List

before the first "Class" statement in the program or explicitly define LstWho as a java.awt.List object:

LstWho = java.awt.List(5) -- define a List Box

For what it's worth, I copied the code for AboutFrame from the RedBook and have been able to compile and run it under Mac OS X.

AboutFrame.nrx

In reply to this post by alansam

Alan,

Could you send me your copy of the working AboutFrame.nrx? I cut and pasted the various pieces from the manual and I think I got it jumbled. Where does the "main" method go? After the AboutFrame class? Did you find a copy you could download in it's entirety?

TIA

Hello all there,

any PLANS to update the REDBOOK (in a forseeable future).

In particular, the AWT examples shall be replace by SWINGX (personal opinion) :-),

Alan, *no fight's* please, just a suggestion, *and* a comment!

Re: AboutFrame.nrx

In reply to this post by kenner

Kenneth,

The main method should go anywhere after the class AboutFrame but before any subsequent class statements (else it will become the main for that class instead.) I pt mine directly after the class's properties directives.

I didn't find any useful downloadable versions on the IBM web site. The download they supply is a VMARC package and you'd need a VM system to unpack it. (Even then it wouldn't help. As I mentioned; IBM have discontinued native support Java for z/VM (although you can still run Java under Linux or z/OS under z/VM so all is not lost.)

Here's my copy of the code:

/* NetRexx */

options replace format comments java crossref savelog symbols binary

--import java.awt.List

class AboutFrame extends Frame

Properties inheritable static -- some vars for the whole class

NbrFrames = 0

Properties inheritable

TxtWho = TextArea(' ',40,90,TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE)

LstWho = java.awt.List(5) -- define a List Box

TxtAppl = Label -- declare read-only text

PbtCncl = Button('Enough') -- define a push button

authors = int -- declare number of authors

authDesc = String[] -- declare this array

authDescL= String[] -- declare this array

-- Declare a MAIN, else JAVA gives a warning and

-- cannot start this class as first program.

-- At the same time we can refuse to start on VM/ESA

method main(args=String[]) public Static

Osname = System.getProperty('os.name') ;

If Osname='VM/ESA' then Say 'Java GUI is n/a on VM/ESA'

else do

abf = AboutFrame(3) /* Build our frame, 3 authors */

abf.SetTitle('About About') /* Set a title */

abf.SetApplText('Info about this NetRexx application')

abf.SetAuthor('Kris Buelens', 'is the author of AboutFrame.', -

'He comes from Belgium and loves VM')

abf.SetAuthor('** version **', 'This is version 1.2 of AboutFrame.' -

'Created at 27 February 1997, in Boeblingen, Germany.')

abf.SetAuthor('** project **', 'AboutFrame has been written during'-

'a redbook project: Java and NetRexx in VM/ESA' -

'( double click for more info).', -

'The output of this project is a redbook. It explains'-

'how Java and NetRexx can be used in VM/ESA and' -

bbf.SetTitle('About Christiaan') /* Set a title */

I'm trying to learn using the sample in chapter 5 called AboutFrame.nrx but it will not compile.

> nrc AboutFrame
NetRexx portable processor, version 2.05
Copyright (c) IBM Corporation, 2005. All rights reserved.
Program AboutFrame.nrx
=== class AboutFrame ===
9 +++ LstWho = this.List(5) -- define a List Box
+++ ^^^^
+++ Error: The method 'List(byte)' cannot be found in class 'AboutFrame' or a superclass
Compilation of 'AboutFrame.nrx' failed [3 classes, one error]

Hello ALAN (and all)

As IBM has discontinued NetRexx support by their own, and are planning
also to remove the Netrexx site from ibm AWD, I do assume that the
open source release of IBM's NetRexx to REXXLA will allow us (anybody)
to ENHANCE this very important RED-Book, written originally by IBM employees, as far as I do know, as PART of this OPEN SOURCING Project....

Rene, could you please comment on this issue (AFTER the NetRexxC 3.01
release, please).

My personal opiniion is that RE-WRITING all this stuff would be beyound our
current capacity, but when we should update it to the current state of the art,
I'm herewith offering my help (when wanted/needed at all)

Thomas Schneider.

As I mentioned; IBM have discontinued native support for Java in z/VM so in my opinion I don't think they'll consider revising this particular RedBook. To be honest, in that the book is almost 13 years old I'm a little surprised it's still available for download.

Hello all there,

any PLANS to update the REDBOOK (in a forseeable future).

In particular, the AWT examples shall be replace by SWINGX (personal opinion) :-),

Hello Alan,
I'm referencing this RED-Book on www.Rexx2Nrx.com, and I do think this link should be still valid.

But for sure, there is progress underway to move all this stuff to org.netrexx (hopefully)

Sincerley,
Thomas.
