REXX Tips.

[Anuj Dhawan]

1. Splitting a function over multiple lines

Consider the following examples:

1. Continuing a string across two lines
   

   Code: Select all

   l_string1 = "This is an example of a bigger-line split between",
               "two lines.";
   

2. Continuing a string when the continuation occurs on a parameter boundary
   

   Code: Select all

   src = socket("GETADDRINFO","CHILE",,
                23,"AI_CANONNAMEOK");

   In this example, the first comma after the parameter "CHILE" indicates the end of the parameter. The second comma indicates that the REXX statement continues on the next line.
