For example: i=1 select case i+1 when 1 then say 'one' when 2 then say 'two' when 3 then say 'three' end See the NetRexx Supplement for details. * An explicit class import will now disambiguate short references. For example, after import java.awt.List a reference to the class List would refer to that class, not the class java.util.List (introduced in Java 1.2). * Several improvements in code generation, including the treatment of small integers as, for example, type byte without need for explicit casts. * The format method in the Rexx class has been corrected to completely follow the ANSI X3-274 definition and the NetRexx specification. -- Mike Cowlishaw, IBM Fellow, IBM UK Laboratories http://www2.hursley.ibm.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
