Hi,
I looked up the TSO REXX reference, it says:
PULL reads a string from the head of the external data queue. It is just
a short form of the instruction: PARSE UPPER PULL template_list ;
if you do not need the uppercase translation you should code "parse pull".

I looked up the PARSE command in the TSO REXX commands manual. It states
If you specify the UPPER option, the data to be parsed is first translated
to uppercase (that is, lowercase a–z to uppercase A–Z). Otherwise, no
uppercase translation takes place during the parsing.
I did have my syntax backward. It should have read
PARSE UPPER PULL answer

Hello,
AFAIK pull is the short form for parse upper pull, so it shouldn't
make any difference to your version. What makes me nervous instead is
the single quote in the do until clause ... : N'

Rexx is case sensitive.
Use PARSE Pull UPPER Answer
Then it will always be upper case and a test for Upper Case
letters/words
will work.

hi
I make this:
do until answer = N'
instructions
say 'Do you want to exit? (s/n)'
pull answer
if answer = 'S' then exit
end
I type s, but not exit of the do until?? Why?? this is a case
sensitive??
It´s correct??
more a question:
how i do to treat for error:
10 +++ dec25 = date("B",year"1225","S")//7
IRX0040I Error running CHRISTMA, line 10: Incorrect call to routine
the error ocorred when typed less four digits to year??
ex: year with tree or two or one digits
200 or 20 or 2.
regards
