Differentially, different REXXes which are different are behaving differently (or indifferently?). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 08:26, 18 August 2013 (UTC) |

:: Thanks for testing. The 'test case' was not for any program. (I tested the Rexx compiler for VM and then TSO and used such a framework for all programs. Anyway, you see that not only ooRexx does follow the specs (Regina doesn't!?!) - the "obnoxious" statement is therefore not just for ooRexx. right? If you use primarily Regina you won't notice this "problem" right?? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 08:54, 18 August 2013 (UTC) |

::: The word I used was ''innoxious'', not ''obnoxious''. Also, I believe it's considered bad form to change people's quotes (I don't mind the correcting of an obvious misspelling, but not the content) --- especially on the discussion (talk) page. The reason I had the various flavors of Regina listed was that some Regina versions were considering numbers as integers that may or may not be considered integers, i.e.: -.1e7 and 12345678912345 for instance. I don't know where Regina REXX currently stands on this. There was some discussion of this topic in the newsgroup '''comp.lang.rexx''' a few months (or maybe years) back; it had to do with what a user expected (REXX's principle of least astonishment) versus what the REXX standard stated (in both examples, both are clearly integers, but maybe not so much according to '''numeric digits'''.) I used the word ''integers'' instead of ''whole numbers'' 'cause some people where saying (in the newsgroup) that negative numbers weren't whole numbers, and some also stated that zero isn't a whole number. &nsp; Sheesh! ''Natural numbers'' and ''counting numbers'' were also thrown around rather loosely. It was a lively and animated discussion as I recall. Walter, if you're going to add your comments interspersed within my signed comments, please sign your inserted statements. It appears that I'm contradicting (my bullet points) with myself and it's not clear at all who is stating what. Also, now that the REXX program has changed drastically, my (REXX) output no longer matches anything posted, so the results are meaningless. That's what programming versions are for (version 1, my output; version 2, ...). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:52, 18 August 2013 (UTC) |
