I am curious if ooRexx 5 is considered to be ANSI 1996 compliant at this point.
It certainly exceeds all of my needs at this point.
This is just a curiosity question.
Many, many thanks and warmest regards to all.

Hi Sam,
ooRexx isn't ANSI-compliant. ANSI e.g.
- mandates a .MN variable giving the error message number, or
- requires the ADDRESS BIF to accept an argument
but there are several more areas of non-compliance, though as far as I know there's no exhaustive list of all of them.

Maybe this paper from Walter could interest you, even if it's not about ANSI : What is Classic Rexx

Walter's scholarly paper was eye opening indeed.
