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. > On 18 Feb 2022, at 04:35, David Crayford <[email protected]> wrote: > > Does REXX (any implementation other than the JVM) have introspection > capabilities?
