I stand corrected!
There are (some/many) differences between Classic Rexx as standardized by ANSI, the ones implemented by IBM on VM or TSO or OS/2 or Personal Rexx or Regina etc.
Most examples under Language Rexx in this wiki were coded for Regina and cannot be run unchanged with some (many) other Rexx implementations.
Please see the Rexx solutionS for the 24 gane where the original one was written for Regina and the second one was 'converted' (plagiarized) for IBM's Rexx including ooRexx!

Please try to run it on YOUR Rexx and let us know about difficulties you encounter.
