In Classic Rexx the main types are string and number. All Rexx has datatype(). 
It tells you if a string is Alphanumeric, Binary, Lower case, uppoer case, 
mixed case, a number, a symbol (a vakid Rexx symbol, a whole number, or a hex 
number.

NetRexx has the JVM’s introspection (reflection).

Open Object Rexx also has a complete set of reflection operations. In ooRexx 
you can send a message to any object to get to know its Class. A complete 
reference card for ooRexx has been made using reflection.

best regards,

René.
