Hello Andrea!

"It's 10:47, this is the news of 22 Oct 95, with Andrea Zaccagnini..."
" .. and we have the following topic: REXX..."

 AZ> Hi all,

 AZ> I have a stupid REXX problem, and no text I've read can help me.
 AZ> This is a wrong REXX token:

 AZ> If ((a="aa") | (a="bb")) then
 AZ> ...

 AZ> but its meaning is quite obvious in other programming languages.
 AZ> What's the right corresponding token?


The correct form is:

if COMPARE("aa","bb")=0 then    /* if not 0 then it's
not equal */
do
 (statements)
end /* do */


The other form might be:

a="aa"
b="bb'
if COMPARE(a,b)=0 then
do
 (statements)
end /* do */

 AZ> thanks in advance,

No thanks...

 AZ> Andrea Zaccagnini


I'll be right back, after the commercials,
