NetRexx is not a super set of "Classic" Rexx. You've found some of the
incompatibilities.
Labels are not supported in NetRexx, it uses the Java object model. All
code is in methods within a class. If you don't define a class NetRexxC
(the compiler) creates one for you based on the file name and places all
your code in the main method.
The parse statement is also quite different under NetRexx.
Hope this helps,

simple rexx not compiling
I just loaded NetREXX (v.1.148) and successfully compiled and ran
hello.nrx.
(This on WinNT wsn 4.0, service pak 3; java 1.17)
Then I went to compile a small program of my own and got an
error on the colon denoting a simple label:
47 +++ skip_over:
+++ ^
+++ Error: Unexpected character found in source: ':' (hexadecimal
encoding:
003A)
I removed the label and tried again only to find the first step works, but
on the
second step I get errors such as this one not liking the parse "upper"
command!
5 +++ parse upper arg what_to_kill
+++ ^^^^^
+++ Error: Unknown variable
There must be something obvious here, any help?
