Line 54:
: Sorry, but I will '''not''' pontificate to others that certain (REXX) statements should ''only'' be used for thus and thus (for whatever reason, certainly the least of which is that the '''signal''' instruction is behaving as described in a REXX language specification (jumping into a '''DO''' loop and executing a '''DO''' or '''END''' instruction '''will''' cause a REXX SYNTAX error). As I mentioned elsewhere, there are other uses of the '''signal''' instruction than "long jumps" and "conditioning handling". By the way, my ''Regina oriented text'' (whatever that means --- it doesn't use any instructions or options not available in every REXX interpreter), it isn't even a Regina REXX "program"; it was executed with PC/REXX as indicated in the REXX section header comments. I'm sorry that you can't follow this discussion. Your example (below) just shows a SYNTAX error for an illegal use of the '''signal''' instruction (the reason for the failure has been pointed out), but it fails to show a valid use of the REXX '''signal''' statement, which is what this RC task is about. If you have an valid example of the '''signal''' statement doing a "jump anywhere", then, please, add another REXX version that shows that. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 05:48, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
::: That's what I did right now. Hopefully in an agreeable way. Thanks --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] 09:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
:::: Exactly which REXX interpreter did you test that code on? And also, what REXX was used for the example below? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:06, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
