>From a programming standpoint which is (a) more efficient, and (b) easier to
understand - Interpret or Value.
Examples:
/* rexx */
/* setup our defaults to start with */
istr = 'abc'
vstr = istr
/* value examples */
newvar = value(vstr,'def')
say newvar
say vstr value(vstr)
newvar = value(vstr''1,'second')
say newvar
say vstr''1 value(vstr''1)
/* interpret examples */
interpret 'istr = def'
interpret 'say' istr 'istr'
interpret 'istr'1 '= second'
interpret 'say' istr''1 'istr'1
The main differences that I can see is that with interpret the new values
are uppercase, and with value the return contains the new variable name.
