Summary: Not Working

Initial Comment:
All,

The GETENV and UNAME fuctions say they are supported in the native code.  I keep getting:
  Error 43.1:  Could not find routine "UNAME"
or
  Error 43.1:  Could not find routine "GETENV"
depending on which I run.  I have the:

   call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs','rexxutil','SysLoadFuncs'
   call SysLoadFuncs

including in my script, but this is not helping.

Why are these not working?  What else do I need to do on my install?

I used to be on ver 3.2 so to make sure, it is not me, I downloaded the latest version and installed.  It still is not working.

All help appreciated!

Thanks!

OMR

I'm not sure where you are getting this: 

 "The GETENV and UNAME fuctions say they are supported in the native
code"

since I'm not much of a historian.  I don't see anything like that in the
docs, going back to ooRexx 3.0.0.

There is a built in function: userID() that you can probably use instead
of UNAME()

The simplest answer to your question of why are thes not working, is that
they are not a part of ooRexx.

If you are on a unix, you can pass the commands to the outside
environment:

"uname"

uname should work on all unixes.  getenv will depend on the shell in use. 
I don't think all shells support getenv, but I guess all the common shells
do.
