I had a short-lived brilliant idea to remove 1/3 of the subroutine, but it didn't work, so I reinstated the original statement, but I re-typed the comment incorrectly. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 05:41, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
== COMPRESS in REXX ==
What is compress? Which Rexx has it??
Would space(...,0) do the job??? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 08:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
: The '''compress''' BIF is supported by the Arexx REXX interpreter, as well as Regina when the appropriate '''options''' are specified, and also in Regina when Regina is running on a Commodore Amiga 1000 (A1000), known commonly as the Amiga. The '''compress''' BIF is documented in the Regina (PDF) documentation. I can't speak to any other REXXes that may support that BIF. As far as I know, '''compress''' is equivalent to '''space(xxx,0)''', but I don't know how it treats whitespace other than blanks. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
