I am just learning REXX, but you should probably be using == not =?

/**/

  a   = 1
  aa  = 2
  b   = 3
  bb  = 3

  if((a == aa) | (b == bb)) then
  do
    if(a == aa) then
      say "a="a" aa="aa
    if(b == bb) then
      say "b =" b "bb ="bb
  end

Now, to add to the confusion, this line works,

      say "b =" b "bb ="bb

but this one does not?

      say "b ="b"bb ="bb

arghh! :-)
