After a long dormant period the Rexx FAQ is available once again. This time it's on the Web so it will be easily accessible all of the time. I need your help to make sure it's accurate and up-to-date. What's there now is what I got from Eric when he handed it over to me back in July. I know there is some information there that is probably out of date or incorrect so please send corrections, updates, and suggestions directly to me. The direct URL to the FAQ is: http://www.mindspring.com/~dave_martin/RexxFAQ.html It's also available as a link off of my home page at: http://www.mindspring.com/~dave_martin Hope you'll find it useful.

Add to "Common Rexx Coding Errors":
Inadvertent upper case translation. This commonly occurs
for one of two causes:
1) Use of an implicit literal instead of a quoted string, e.g.
X = Mixed Case /* instead of */
X = "Mixed Case"
2) Use of ARG or PULL instead of PARSE ARG or PARSE PULL

One additional item might be worth mentioning under the topic of: "2. Function calls versus the CALL statement" Even though we can think of "Call" as the tossing of any return value, a return value, if passed back from a called routine, can be accessed by the REXX reserved word 'RESULT'.
