:::::: I am asking for programs that run unmodified on all versions and that is quite easy. REXX->PL/I and others I'd call translation! REXX->ooRexx is also a translation when I use new features in order to simplify the algorithm. --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 08:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC) |

::::::: The Rexx programs that carry my name should work on all REXXes ( I cannot test them on others since I don't have any other - I had TSO Rexx till 12/2012). Addition on 10 May; My dream / vision is that all programs shown under REXX should work on ALL REXX implementations unless otherwise marked (No, I won't mark your programs that way - it's only a dream). Those under ooRexx will, of course, only work with ooRexx (and not Roo as was noted recently - I CAN catch your humor) --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 10:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC) |

:::::::: All that is needed to see if a REXX program works under a Classic REXX is to (simply) run/execute the REXX program under a Classic REXX interpreter. That would solve your (above) problem of ''it '''should''' work on all REXXes''. Just executing a REXX program under ooRexx doesn't mean that it works under Classic REXX as well. This seems like an obvious and simple thing to do. If you can't/won't use a Classic REXX interpreter and you just have ooRexx, then enter that program under the ooRexx section. That will ensure that your program will run/execute correctly (verifiably) under the appropriate language section. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC) |

Many of GS's REXX programs won't work on ooRexx because they use the things I mentioned: $ etc. as variable names and x= instead of x="" for assignment of the null string. When I try one of these programs I make the necessary little changes (c/$/d/* * and add the "") and I am off (and learn a lot from them) |

I was going to add a considered comment but I can't be bothered in reopening the Rexx/ooRexx religious war; life's too short. I choose to ignore this trite argument about what is and what isn't Rexx --[[User:Alansam|Alansam]] ([[User talk:Alansam|talk]]) 00:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC) |

: In calling these arguments trite is just belittling the differences and ignore the substance of the issue(s). The issue (argument) about what is and what isn't Rexx is a strawman argument. The issue is: what is and isn't '''<u>Classic</u> REXX'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC) |
