    You have coded a function call as a line on it's own. By rexx rules, the function result is then handled as a command and passed to the command shell, which is issuing the message. You need to code your call as

    call lineout myfile, myline

    Hi Franz,
    Rexx functions which return a value are typically called like this:

    call LINEOUT name
code = LINEOUT(name)

    When used in a stand-alone expression like in your example, the returned function value is (not ignored, but) executed as an external command.

    Hi Franz, responses should always go to the initial bug report - no direct responses by mail.

    The 2nd problem in my Test1.rex - program;
    stream(....) with the  unsupported windows-command READY: - Command
    as you can see in my Test2.rex  ...

    You don't really use STREAM in your example, but its use would be the same as for LINEOUT

    RC = 0
    IF RC <> 0 then Say "CALL LINEOUT" myfile "fails with RC" RC

    Rexx functions don't set RC, only external command do.
    To capture the result of LINEOUT, you'd code

    code = LINEOUT(name, ..)
if code <> 0 then ..

    Also, this here is bug tracker ... for how-to questions there's a mailing list "Open Object Rexx Users" oorexx-users@lists.sourceforge.net.
    You'll find a list of all ooRexx mailing lists at https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/mailman/
    ooRexx also has a discussion forum at https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/discussion/
    (There are also Google Groups covering Rexx))

      Ok, Erich, habe ich alles verstanden!

    Rexxcoder - 2021-03-12

    <style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style>

    Hi Rene`, Rony and ooRexx Documentation Team Members,

    I received this notification regarding a ticket closure for the following ooRexx report.  I will be happy to attempt my initial administrative Subversion and SourceForge tasks if someone can direct me to information regarding what  I should be doing to properly close the ticket (admittedly, I need to study my Subversion PDFs a bit more regarding how to verify that I certain code change has been applied).

    My concerns are:

    1) Do the two .rex code attachments provided by Mr. Marx in this e-Mail need to be checked into Subversion or is that already done? 
    2) How can I verify that any attachments are checked in by another Subversion User? Guessing a subversion "diff" type command?
    3) I'm assuming the ticket closure is something that is administered from SourceForge as opposed to Subversion? 
    4) Are there any documentation tasks that I need to undertake as a pre-requisite for closing the SourceForge ticket?

    Will study up on the Subversion PDF Tutorial and Book that I have over the weekend to solidify my knowledge .

    Thanks for your Time and Attention; Best Regards,

    Tony Dycks (rexxcoder)

    Hi Tony,
    it seems that the ticket creator had wrongly selected you as owner when he opened this doc bug.
    The ticket has already been closed - see "Status: wont-fix" in the header
    No action necessary from your side.

    Any ticket attachments are just local attachments here and are not uploaded into our SVN tree.
    Any of the devs can close tickets (maybe the ticket creator can close it, too .. not sure)
    I'll remove you as owner of this ticket.

    Thanks Erich for the update and the info regarding SVN. Since I'm  a newbie, I figured I'd check before doing any erroneous admin work. 
    Best Regards and Wellness, Tony Dycks
