Line 120:
:: I always remembered all those six characters as being in the earliest release of REXX, along with the '''¢''' (cent) sign, all seven of them are still supported on the CMS and TSO version of classic REXX, as well as ''R4'' and ''ROO''. You may say some of those characters were deprecated, but they're all supported still on the IBM mainframe REXXes, as well as the REXX compiler. It should be noted that current IBM (REXX) publications note that not all keyboards and/or code pages support the '''!''' (exclaimation point) symbol, but that doesn't stop (IBM) REXX from supporting that character (or others) for use in REXX programs. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 02:44, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
:: '''I'm''' not saying the characters were [[wp:Deprecation|deprecated]], the author of the language in his last publication (see the reference above) is saying it. There are many features in many programming environments that are deprecated; it doesn't mean that they don't/won't work it just means that you should think carefully before using them because as the environment evolves they '''may''' stop working. Such is the case with these characters in (for example) ooRexx. --[[User:Alansam|Alansam]] 20:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
